Introduction
Es de gran importancia reconocer e identificar los diferentes instrumentos
o herramientas de laboratorio, ya que de esta manera seremos capaces de
utilizarlos adecuadamente y tambin de llamarlos por su nombre y conocer su
utilidad.
Dada la regularidad con que se emplea el MECHERO DE BUNSEN en
nuestras prcticas, ste ser uno de los materiales a profundizar en su
conocimiento, as como al uso correcto del material volumtrico.
Una actividad ser el clasificar el material segn su uso, investigar su
capacidad y correcto uso, as como algunos conceptos bsicos relacionados con los
materiales de lab.
Lab equipments can be classified into 5 main categories: containers,
measure/transfer, support, heating, and safety(and others). Since containers and
measure/transfer equipments are used for alternative purposes, we hereafter
consider these two as one use except for specific note.
In Introduction, we will generally see the purposes of each classification.
1) Containers: These are for containing, mixing, and observing substances and
chemical reactions. Because of its uses, it is mostly made of glass, so that
scientists can easily see the inside with safety. Equipments of these uses
theoretically do not require no scale to calculate volume, those with scale are
common in lab.
2) Measure/Transfers: There are for measuring mass, volume. Notice that
scientists need very accurate result of measurement and low interval of error,
therefore, the more accurate the equipments are, the more accurate the
results are. Descriptions of each equipments will be listed and explained in
the Result section.

3) Support: When we perform experiment, we commonly need more hands than

two, or sometimes it is impossible to take an equipment by hand. For these
reasons, equipments that is in charge of supporting is very necessary to
perform experiment with high accuracy without accidents.
4) Heat: We commonly meet experiments that needs heat. For this reason,
equipments that heat a sample is necessary. For example, bunsen burner is a
good example of heating equipment.
5) Safety: These equipments are those written in Equipo de proteccin
personal part in our lab documents. They are simply in charge of guarantee
the safety during experiment.
Next thing to note in the Introduction is bunsen burner, a heating equipment.
