APPARATUS ILLUSTRATION 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
1. Acid Burette
time.
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
2. Adapter vacuum source, or to a water
aspirator. It is also used to lead
liquids from a condenser to a
receiving flask during distillation.
