Lab Equipment Practice Questions: Can you choose the piece of lab equipment that would be most useful for each of the following tasks?
1. I need a glass container that I can use for heating 50 mL of boiling water.
2. I am working with a very strong acid that could harm my skin. I need to pour 25mL of the strong acid into another small mouthed bottle so that I can dilute it.
3. I need to measure precisely 43 mL of water to use in my experiment.
4. The lab procedure calls for me to use 120 g of sodium chloride.
5. I need a few drops of liquid acetone to add to my experiment.
6. I am working with a bottle of blue copper sulfate crystals. I need to remove some crystals from the reagent bottle and transfer them to the top of the balance to be massed.
7. I am working with chemicals and want to protect my eyes.
8. I am doing an acid base titration reaction and need a glass container which will allow me to swirl and mix the acid and base together easily.
9. I want to do an experiment using sugar, but all I have are large sugar cubes. I need to make the cubes smaller.
10. I am doing an experiment burning magnesium ribbon and combining it with oxygen from the air to make magnesium oxide. I need a container that would be good to hold the burning magnesium. The container should also have a lid on it so that I can cover the reaction and reduce the amount of nitrogen from the atmosphere that might affect my experiment.
