Step-by-step solution for: WORKSHEET – Lab Equipment
It looks like you've uploaded a lab equipment worksheet that shows various pieces of laboratory apparatus, but the "other side" of the paper (where the tasks or matching questions are located) is not visible in your image. However, I can help you understand how to solve this type of worksheet, and provide guidance on what each piece of equipment is used for, so you can match them correctly to typical lab tasks.

Here’s a breakdown of each item shown in your image and its purpose:
1. Goggles
- Use: Protect eyes from chemical splashes, flying particles, or heat.
- Task Example: Wearing safety gear during experiments.
2. Lab Coat or Apron
- Use: Protect clothing and skin from spills and chemicals.
- Task Example: Wearing protective clothing when handling hazardous substances.
3. Graduated Cylinder
- Use: Measure liquid volume accurately (e.g., 10 mL, 50 mL).
- Task Example: Measuring 25 mL of water.
4. Tongs
- Use: Handle hot objects safely (like test tubes or beakers).
- Task Example: Moving a hot beaker from a Bunsen burner.
5. Triple Beam Balance
- Use: Measure mass of solids (in grams).
- Task Example: Weighing 5.0 g of salt.
6. Test Tube
- Use: Hold small amounts of liquids or solids; used for reactions.
- Task Example: Mixing two solutions for a reaction.
7. Beaker
- Use: Hold, mix, or heat liquids (not very precise for measuring).
- Task Example: Dissolving sugar in water.
8. Lab Stand with Ring Clamp
- Use: Hold glassware securely (e.g., funnel, flask) during experiments.
- Task Example: Supporting a funnel during filtration.
9. Funnel
- Use: Pour liquids into narrow openings without spilling.
- Task Example: Transferring liquid into a test tube or filtering.
10. Bunsen Burner
- Use: Produce a flame to heat substances.
- Task Example: Heating a solution to boiling.
11. Erlenmeyer Flask
- Use: Mix or heat liquids; wide base prevents spillage.
- Task Example: Performing titrations or heating solutions.
12. Striker
- Use: Ignite the Bunsen burner (creates spark).
- Task Example: Lighting the Bunsen burner.
13. Eye Dropper
- Use: Add small drops of liquid precisely.
- Task Example: Adding one drop of indicator to a solution.

On the other side of the worksheet, you likely have a list of tasks such as:
- “Measure exactly 10 mL of water.”
- “Heat a liquid in a flask.”
- “Weigh 3.5 grams of sodium chloride.”
- “Transfer a liquid into a small container.”
You would then match each task to the correct equipment based on the uses above.

| Task | Correct Equipment |
|------|-------------------|
| Measure 20 mL of water | Graduated cylinder |
| Heat a solution in a flask | Bunsen burner + Erlenmeyer flask |
| Weigh a solid sample | Triple beam balance |
| Add one drop of acid | Eye dropper |
| Support a funnel during filtration | Lab stand with ring clamp |
| Protect your eyes | Goggles |
| Transfer a hot beaker | Tongs |
| Hold a small amount of liquid | Test tube |
---
- Use graduated cylinders for accurate volume measurements.
- Use beakers for general mixing, not precision.
- Always use tongs when handling hot glassware.
- Never measure liquids directly on a balance — use containers like beakers or graduated cylinders.
