Lab Equipment Worksheet Name, Students are required to learn the names and functions of various types of equipment that they may use in Chemistry laboratory activities. This worksheet identifies the most common items and describes what they are used for. Attached to this worksheet is a handout “Common Laboratory Equipment” which shows drawings of each item.

The best way to become familiar with a chemical apparatus it the actually handle the pieces yourself in the lab. Great emphasis is placed on safety precautions that should be observed whenever you perform an experiment or use certain apparatus. ‘SafBynsen BurnexQemenstration Tongs, Striker/Sparker, Bunsen burner, Tubing, Copper 1. The Bunsen bumer is commonly used as a source of heat in the lab. 17 as Each has a gas inlet located in the base, vertical tubing in which the — gas mixes with air, and adjustable openings or ports in the base of the 2 barrel. These ports admit air to the gas stream. The burners always “<> turned off at the gas valve! Check safety...check all hosing for cracks or holes. Make sure safety goggles are on. Adjust the air ports at the base of the barrel to be 50% open and 50% closed. ‘Turn the gas valve on (referring to a clock = 12:20 or 12:25), and immediately hold the sparker about Scm above the top of the burner and spark. If you have trouble lighting, turn off Bunsen burner, and contact the teacher for assistance. (CAUTION: Improperly burning will produce the poisonous gas Carbon Monoxide) 5. There are 2 types of flame: nonluminous = biue (very little noise), or luminous = yellow. Luminous is seldom used in the lab; itis too cool of a flame and produced Soot on materials being burned due to incomplete combustion. 6. Regulate the flame to about 8 cm above the barrel. Adjust the air ports to obtain a sharply defined inner blue cone. 7. Using forceps and a piece of 10cm copper wire, locate the hottest portion of the flame. Do this by placing the end of the copper wire in the gas closest to the barrel, slowly working your way up the flame. Observe the wire. 8. Shut offthe gas bumer. BeN Answer the following questions. (If you have eny questions about the Bunsen burner contact the teacher.) + What does the safety symbol represent for this portion of the lab? + What was the result of closing the ports?o_Why?, * Where is the hottest portion on the nonluminous flame located? 2_How did you figure this out?, + Why is the nonluminous flame preferred in the chemistry lab over the luminous flame?.
