Speaking of conducting experiments, you won’t be able to do much without the right equipment .
You’ve probably wondered precisely at some point why your chemistry department is so full of things you’ve never seen outside of the chemistry lab Molecule Database. The answer is that you need all kinds of tools to perform a chemical experiment effectively and, more importantly, safely.
The basic chemical apparatus is the Bunsen burner, a gas pipe that produces a very hot, clean and clear flame . Heat often induces the chemical or physical change that you will need to observe and analyze, which is why the Bunsen burner has become the primary tool of modern chemistry .
But to study any chemical process, you’ll probably need test tubes, a flask, pipettes and burettes , and especially goggles and gloves to make sure you don’t hurt yourself.
And to understand the composition of the substance you are working with, some tools will help you come up with an explanation: litmus paper, a thermometer and a molecular model.
