Analytical Chemistry Solution Stopcock: 4. Pipettes and Aspirator

You are on page 1of 2

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of

electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is anychemical reaction in which


the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.

Redox is a chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed. Any such reaction
involves both a reduction process and a complementary oxidation process, two key concepts involved
with electron transfer processes.

1. A burette is a laboratory equipment used in analytical chemistry for the dispensing of


variable amount of a chemical solution and measuring that amount at the same time.

A burette (also buret) is a laboratory equipment used in analytical chemistry for the
dispensing of variable amount of a chemical solution and measuring that amount at the
same time. It is a long, graduated glass tube, with a stopcock at its lower end and a tapered
capillary tube at the stopcock's outlet. The flow of liquid from the tube to the burette tip is
controlled by the stopcock valve. There are two main types of burette; the volumetric burette
and the Piston burette or Digital burette.

2. Vacuum Adapter
Connect two other pieces of jointware to each other, and to a vacuum source, such as a
water aspirator. Also used to lead liquids from a condenser to a receiving flask during
distillation.

3. An alcohol burner or spirit lamp is a piece of laboratory equipment used to produce an


open flame. It can be made from brass, glass, stainless steel or aluminium.

4. Pipettes and Aspirator


Pasteur pipettes are plastic or glass pipettes used to transfer small amounts of liquids,
but are not graduated or calibrated for any particular volume. The bulb is separate from
the pipette body. Pasteur pipettes are also called teat pipettes, droppers, eye droppers
and chemical droppers.
Aspirator (medical device), a suction device used to remove bodily fluids from a
patient. Aspirator (pump), a device producing vacuum by the Venturi effect in a
constricted stream of fluid.

5. Beaker
A beaker is a common container in most labs. It is used for mixing, stirring, and heating
chemicals. Most beakers have spouts on their rims to aid in pouring. They also
commonly have lips around their rims and markings to measure the volume they contain,
although they are not a precise way to measure liquids.

6. A cork borer, often used in a chemistry or biology laboratory, is a metal tool for cutting a
hole in a cork or rubber stopper to insert glass tubing.

7. A Bunsen burner, named after Robert Bunsen, is a common piece of laboratory


equipment that produces a single open gas flame, which is used for heating, sterilization,
and combustion.
8. Burette clamp is a scientific equipment which used specifically to hold and secure
a burette on a stand, so that a burette is fixed and more convenient for the experiment. ...
Usually Burette clamp comes in double, which means it can hold two burettes.

9. Centrifuge a machine with a rapidly rotating container that applies centrifugal force to its
contents, typically to separate fluids of different densities (e.g., cream from milk) or liquids from
solids.

10. A pipeclay triangle is a piece of laboratory apparatus that is used to support


acrucible being heated by a Bunsen burner or other heat source. It is made of wires strung in
an equilateral triangle on which are strung hollow ceramic, normally fire clay, tubes.

11. A crucible is a container that can withstand very high temperatures and is used for metal,
glass, and pigment production as well as a number of modern laboratory processes

12. Crucible tongs are large pincers made of welded steel that are used to grasp and take a
hot crucible out of a fire or furnace, or to move a crucible from one location to another.

13. The Erlenmeyer flask was created by Emil Erlenmeyer, a German chemist, in the 1860s.
He developed a flask that has a flat bottom with a tapered neck. The mouth, or opening, is used
for pouring solutions and may be closed with a stopper in order to store samples.

14. A Florence flask is a type of flask used as an item of laboratory glassware. It is used as a
container to hold liquids. A Florence flask has a round body, a single long neck, and often a flat
bottom.

15. Graduated cylinder, measuring cylinder or mixingcylinder is a common piece of


laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape.
Each marked line on the graduated cylinderrepresents the amount of liquid that has been
measured

16. A Petri dish, named after the German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri, is a shallow
cylindrical glass or plastic lidded dish that biologists use to culture cells – such as bacteria – or
small mosses.
