Then rinse the glassware with tap water. Allow the water to run into and over the glassware and then fill each piece with water. Fill the test tubes, flasks, and other glassware with water and shake to empty them. These racks are especially useful for organizing test tubes when different solutions are being worked on or collected at once.]]> 2021-09-08 17:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tamikaconerly1/2t7drab7x3xqpsrg/wish/1725624938 Forceps (Abril) https://padlet.com/tamikaconerly1/2t7drab7x3xqpsrg/wish/1725625183 Forceps are the "tweezers" in an organic chem lab. They come in many sizes and shapes, sometimes old and discolored, sometimes new and shiny, sometimes sharp and pointed, sometimes flat-ended. Is used to pick up tiny things.

One saftey precaution is to never use them near your face, the tip is kinda sharp so you should protect your eyes from it.

The correct way for using it is when you need to pick up something that is to small for picking it up with your hands. For example hair, earings, etc.

The wire gauze is used as a support for different containers when they are placed across a support ring above the bunsen burner to spread the heat.

3.  Be sure to fold the ends of the gauze under for maximum heat diffusion. Also, for the gauze to work the best, a person should use a glassware item with a flat bottom so the heat spreads better and heats the chemical. 

4. The correct way to use the wire gauze is to place it above the tripod and put the container with the chemical wanted to be heated above the wire gauze. ]]> 2021-09-08 17:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tamikaconerly1/2t7drab7x3xqpsrg/wish/1725626100 Cristobal-Tongs (science tongs) cristobaldiezcanseco1 https://padlet.com/tamikaconerly1/2t7drab7x3xqpsrg/wish/1725629110 Tongs:The tongs are used for not touching hot beakers or hot crucibles, they are like a type of scicsorzs that can grab easier hot beakers and you don't get burned, you need to be carfull because if you relax your hand you could drop the beaker or crucible.THe correct way of using one is grabing it by the 2 ears it has with the fingers and put a little bit of force so it doesn't fall out the thing you are grabing

They are used in the laboratory and also to dispense small amounts of liquid medicines. ... The combination of the pipette and rubber bulb has also been referred to as a teat pipette

Safety precautions: be sure that the dropper never touches your container or the contents in it. Never put it down on the bench top, but return it immediately the right reagent bottle.

How to use it: When you squeeze the rubber top on thedropper you squeeze the air out. Then when you put the tip into the liquid and stop squeezing the top, the low pressure inside sucks up the liquid. In fact it is the higher pressure outside the dropper, in the liquid, that pushes the liquid up into the dropper]]> 2021-09-08 17:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tamikaconerly1/2t7drab7x3xqpsrg/wish/1725642096 Wire brush (Sol) solrungislason1 https://padlet.com/tamikaconerly1/2t7drab7x3xqpsrg/wish/1725642393 Brushes are designed for the purpose of cleaning test tubes, therefore are developed to be able to reach all corners of the glassware. 

One safety precaution is to after using them clean them really well so the chemicals you have been using don't stay there.

The correct way to use it is grabbing them from the metal part and put it in the the test tubes.]]> 2021-09-08 17:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tamikaconerly1/2t7drab7x3xqpsrg/wish/1725642393 Graduated Cylinder - Helena Salvadori 20171534 https://padlet.com/tamikaconerly1/2t7drab7x3xqpsrg/wish/1725660263 2. A graduated cylinder is used for measuring the volumes of liquids or chemicals.

3. Graduated cylinders are not intended for mixing, stirring, heating, or weighing so you should only use it for measuring the chemicals. 

4. The correct way to use the graduated cylinder is to put it on the table and drop liquids inside of it with the beaker, conical flask, etc. ]]> 2021-09-08 17:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tamikaconerly1/2t7drab7x3xqpsrg/wish/1725660263 Beaker (Abril) https://padlet.com/tamikaconerly1/2t7drab7x3xqpsrg/wish/1725850950 Beakers are useful as a reaction container or to hold liquid or solid samples. They are also used to catch liquids from titrations and filtrates from filtering operations.

For large beakers, use two hands, one on the side and one supporting the bottom. Never carry bottles by their necks. Use a cart to transport large bottles of dense liquid. Do not pick up broken glass with bare or unprotected hands.

The correct way for using a beaker is using safety tongs when handling a hot beaker. Pour liquid out of the beaker by using the spout in the lip around the top of the beaker.

Utility clamps support your flasks, beakers, and burettes. They stabilize your sample containers, preventing possible breakage and sample loss.

2. General-purpose clamps are used for securing glassware - therefore make sure that the inner surfaces of the clamp 'jaws' and the 'fingers' are covered with cork or rubber to provide a cushion for the glass: there must be no metal to glass contact in case you overtighten the clamp and crush the glass. Tighten the clamp firmly and ensure that the clamped glassware does not move.

Made up of thermo (heat) and meter (measuring device), the meaning of the word thermometer is pretty straightforward. Thermometers measure temperatures in degrees, according to either the Celsius or Fahrenheit system.

Safety precautions: Answer: The thermometer should be kept upright not tilted. Bulb should be surrounded from all the sides of the substance whose temperature has to be taken. The bulb should not touch the container if the substance to be measured is in liquid form.

How to use it:

  1. Clean the tip with cold water and soap, then rinse it.
  2. Turn the thermometer on.
  3. Put the tip under your tongue, towards the back of your mouth.
  4. Close your lips around the thermometer.
  5. Wait until it beeps or flashes.
  6. Check the temperature on the display.

3) Evaporating dishes and crucibles can be heated to very high temperatures. They will crack and shatter if placed hot on the lab bench or come into contact with water. Therefore, they should be placed on wire gauze to cool. Do not place hot evaporating dishes or crucibles on your lab manual.

A pipette is a laboratory instrument used to measure out or transfer small quantities of liquid, in volumes of milliliters (mL), microliters (μL).

You should make sure they are fully clean so you dont contaminate anything. To clean a pipet you should follow this instructions. 
  1. Using the appropriate technique for filling the pipet, draw distilled water into the pipet until it almost reaches the bulb. Remove the bulb and allow the water to drain. If the water drains without leaving droplets on the inside of the pipet, repeat this rinse twice more and go on to step two. If droplets cling to the inside of the pipet, clean it with detergent solution or cleaning solution. Rinse many times with tap water, then repeat the distilled water rinses.

The correct use is 1. Get the appropriate amount of the solution you wish to pipet in a small, clean, dry beaker. Never pipet directly out of the stock bottles of solution. This creates a contamination risk.
2. Insert the tip of the pipet into the beaker of solution so that it is about 1/4” from the bottom. Be sure not to press the tip against the bottom of the container.
3. If you are right handed, hold the pipet in your right hand, leaving your index finger free to place over the top of the pipet. With your left hand, squeeze the pipet bulb. Press it firmly over the top of the pipet, but DO NOT INSERT THE PIPET INTO THE BULB!! Release the pressure on the bulb and allow the solution to flow into the pipet until it is above the volume mark. Do not allow the solution to reach the bulb.
4. Quickly remove the bulb and place your index finger firmly over the top of the pipet. Slowly roll you finger to one side and allow the liquid to drain until the bottom of the meniscus is aligned with the volume mark. With practice you will be able to lower the liquid very, very slowly.
5. When the bottom of the meniscus is even with the volume mark, press your index finger firmly on the top of the pipet so no liquid leaks out. Pull the pipet out of the solution and touch the tip once to the side of the container.
6. To transfer the solution, place the tip of the pipet against the wall of the receiving container at an angle of 10-20 degrees. Slowly allow the liquid to drain from the pipet. Keep the flow slow so that no droplets cling to the inside of the pipet.
7. When the solution stops flowing, touch the pipet once to the side of the receiving container to remove any hanging drops. DO NOT blow out the remaining solution. The pipet has been calibrated to deliver the appropriate amount of solution with some remaining in the tip.
