BIO LAB 2 Flashcards
(30 cards)
Known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion making them more resistant to thermal shock than any other common glass
Borosilicate
glass
A glass consisting of almost pure silica in
amorphous (non-crystalline) form
Fused quartz
Can block
ultraviolet
and infrared
radiation
Amber glass
Can
withstand
pressurized
applications
Heavy-wall
glass
Finely porous glass through which gas or liquid may pass
Fritted glass
Specially treated to reduce the occurrence of breakage or failure
Coated
glassware
Specially treated to prevent organic samples from sticking to the glass
Silanized
glassware
these are the workhorse glassware of any
chemistry lab
Beakers
They come in a variety of sizes and are used for
measuring volumes of liquid
Beakers
aren’t particularly precise
Beakers
are often used for mixing and transferring
liquids
Beakers
This type of flask has a narrow neck and a flat
bottom
ERLENMEYER FLASK
It’s good for swirling, storing, and heating liquids
ERLENMEYER FLASK
are used to prepare solutions
VOLUMETRIC FLASK
Each features a narrow neck with a marking,
usually for a single precise volume
VOLUMETRIC FLASK
Because temperature changes cause materials,
including glass, to expand or shrink, volumetric
flasks aren’t meant for ___
heating
These flasks can be stoppered or sealed so that
evaporation won’t change the concentration of a
stored solution
VOLUMETRIC FLASK
These are good for collecting and holding
small samples
They aren’t typically used for measuring precise
volumes
TEST TUBES
relatively inexpensive compared
with other types of glassware
TEST TUBES
Those meant to be heated directly with a flame
are sometimes made from borosilicate glass, but
others are made from less sturdy glass and
sometimes plastic
TEST TUBES
These are used to dispense exact quantities of
liquid into another vessel
BURETTE
Graduated glass tube with a tap at one end, for
delivering known volumes of a liquid, especially in
titrations
BURETTE
Also known as measuring cylinder or mixing
cylinder
GRADUATED CYLINDER
a common piece of laboratory
equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid
