APPARATUS DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION

It 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.
1. Acid Burette
An acid burette is a glass vial with graduation marks. It is
used in the laboratory for accurately measuring and
dispensing liquids.

It is a laboratory equipment used to connect pieces of


ground glass joint glassware to each other, to a vacuum
