Fume Hood  |
Fume Hoods Fume hoods are an important component of the Chemistry lab. During the year we may conduct experiments or demonstrations where gases that are noxious or explosive are produced. When this is the case, we will conduct these in the fume hood. When the hood is on, it pulls the gases produced from the enclosed area of the hood and vents them to the outside where they can disperse to a non hazardous level. Proper use of a fume hood is essential. Find out

| Water Distiller | Water Distiller A water distiller is a useful piece of equipment because this devise take normal tap water and removes some of the minerals and dissolved solids from the water. This "treated" water is therefore less likely to cause unwanted errors in our reactions. |
Drying Oven  |
Drying Oven A drying oven can be used to dry samples that are wet. This is often done when the mass of a sample is desired but the sample was in solution previously. A drying oven does not reach the boiling temperature of water, therefore, drying may occur over several hours to days. |
Water Bath  |
Water Baths Water baths are used for slowly warming and then maintaining the temperature of experimental material for longer periods of time. Because of the heating characteristics of water, water baths do not fluctuate temperatures as quickly as heating by hot plate or Bunsen burner does. |
