Question types: Name the equipment

Rule: Lab equipment

A beaker is a straight-sided container with a lip; a conical flask narrows at the top. A measuring cylinder measures volume.

A test tube is for small experiments, a funnel with filter paper for filtering, a Bunsen burner for heating.

Example: Measure an exact volume of liquid with a measuring cylinder or a pipette, not a beaker.

Watch out: A beaker and a flask are not the same: a beaker has straight sides, a flask narrows at the top.
