Let’s go step by step to identify each piece of lab equipment and write its main function.
We’ll match the number on the image with the correct name and what it’s used for.
---
1. Beaker
→ Used to hold, mix, or heat liquids. Not super precise for measuring.
2. Triple Beam Balance
→ Measures mass (weight) of objects very accurately.
3. Forceps / Tweezers
→ Picks up small objects without touching them — like tiny solids or samples.
4. Round-Bottom Flask
→ Holds liquids during heating or reactions; often used with a stand because it can’t sit flat.
5. Dropper / Pipette (with bulb)
→ Adds small drops of liquid precisely.
6. Test Tube
→ Holds small amounts of liquid or solid for mixing, heating, or observing reactions.
7. Crucible Tongs
→ Grabs hot crucibles or other hot items safely.
8. Spatula
→ Scoops or transfers powders or small solid chemicals.
9. Syringe
→ Measures and injects exact volumes of liquid — sometimes used in labs for precision.
10. Separatory Funnel
→ Separates two liquids that don’t mix (like oil and water).
11. Ring Stand with Clamp
→ Holds other equipment (like flasks or burettes) in place during experiments.
12. Reagent Bottle (with cap)
→ Stores chemicals safely — usually labeled so you know what’s inside.
13. Glass Tubing (bent)
→ Connects pieces of apparatus together — lets gases or liquids flow between containers.
14. Funnel
→ Helps pour liquids into narrow openings without spilling.
15. Bunsen Burner
→ Heats things using gas flame — common for sterilizing or boiling.
16. Microscope
→ Makes tiny things look bigger — used to see cells, bacteria, etc.

Now let’s put this into the table format as requested:
| Number | Name | Function |
|--------|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
| 1 | Beaker | Hold, mix, or heat liquids |
| 2 | Triple Beam Balance | Measure mass of objects |
| 3 | Forceps | Pick up small objects |
| 4 | Round-Bottom Flask | Hold liquids during heating/reactions |
| 5 | Dropper | Add small drops of liquid |
| 6 | Test Tube | Hold small samples for testing/heating |
| 7 | Crucible Tongs | Handle hot objects safely |
| 8 | Spatula | Scoop or transfer powders/solids |
| 9 | Syringe | Measure and deliver exact liquid volumes |
| 10 | Separatory Funnel | Separate immiscible liquids |
| 11 | Ring Stand | Hold equipment steady during experiments |
| 12 | Reagent Bottle | Store chemicals safely |
| 13 | Glass Tubing | Connect lab equipment for fluid/gas flow |
| 14 | Funnel | Pour liquids into narrow containers |
| 15 | Bunsen Burner | Heat substances using flame |
| 16 | Microscope | View very small objects magnified |
Final Answer:
The completed worksheet should have the names and functions listed above matched to numbers 1 through 16 respectively.
