3. Identify the item shown in the image.

Explanation

The image shows Microscope Slides, which are used to hold specimens for examination under a microscope.

Submit
4. Identify.

Explanation

A test tube is a cylindrical tube made of glass or plastic used for holding or mixing small quantities of substances, whereas a beaker, flask, and pipette are also commonly used in laboratory settings for various purposes but do not have the same shape or function as a test tube.

Submit
5. Identify.

Explanation

A Petri Dish is a shallow, flat, cylindrical, lidded dish used by biologists and other scientists to culture cells, bacteria, and other microorganisms. Incorrect answers such as Beaker, Test Tube, and Microscope are commonly used laboratory equipment but do not serve the same purpose as a Petri Dish.

Submit
6. Identify the object used for transferring liquids or powders in a controlled manner.

Explanation

A funnel is a conical object used for transferring liquids or powders in a controlled manner, typically through a narrow opening.

Submit
7. Identify the instrument used to measure temperature.

Explanation

A thermometer is specifically designed to measure temperature by using a liquid-filled glass tube that expands or contracts based on temperature changes. The other three options - barometer, hygrometer, and anemometer - are instruments used to measure air pressure, humidity, and wind speed respectively.

Submit
8. What is the name of the laboratory equipment used for measuring liquid volume in milliliters?

Explanation

A graduated cylinder is specifically designed for measuring liquid volume accurately. Beakers are more suitable for holding and mixing liquids, while Erlenmeyer Flasks are typically used for heating and mixing substances. Pipettes are used for transferring small amounts of liquid.

Submit
9. What is the name of the laboratory instrument used to transfer a specific volume of liquid?

Explanation

A pipette is used to accurately transfer a specific volume of liquid, while a beaker is a container, a Bunsen burner is used for heating, and a microscope is used for viewing objects at a small scale.

Submit
10. What is the proper name for the tool used to hold test tubes?

Explanation

A test tube holder is specifically designed to hold test tubes securely during experiments. A beaker clamp is used to hold beakers, a pipette is used for accurately measuring and transferring small amounts of liquid, and a Bunsen burner is a common piece of laboratory equipment used for heating.

Submit
11. What is the correct identification for eye protection equipment?

Explanation

Safety goggles are specifically designed to protect the eyes from hazards such as flying debris, chemicals, or intense light. Face masks, hard hats, and gardening gloves serve different purposes and do not provide adequate eye protection.

Submit
12. Identify the item commonly used in a laboratory for heating purposes.

Explanation

The Burner Tripod is a stand used to support apparatus being heated, while the other options are not typically used for heating purposes in a laboratory setting.

Submit
13. What tool is typically used for handling hot crucibles in a laboratory setting?

Explanation

Crucible tongs are specifically designed to handle hot crucibles safely, while Bunsen burners are used for heating, beakers are used for measuring and mixing liquids, and mortar and pestle are used for grinding and mixing substances.

Submit
14. Identify this tool.

Explanation

Forceps are a handheld, hinged instrument used for grasping and holding objects. They are commonly used in medical and surgical procedures. Spatulas are flat utensils used for flipping or spreading substances, screwdrivers are tools used for turning screws, and hammers are tools used for driving nails or breaking objects.

Submit
15. Identify the following laboratory equipment.

Explanation

The Erlenmeyer Flask is a conical glass flask with a narrow neck. It is commonly used in chemistry laboratories for titration, heating substances, and other processes. Test tubes are cylindrical tubes used for holding small amounts of substances, beakers are cylindrical containers used for mixing, measuring, and heating liquids, and graduated cylinders are tall, narrow cylinders used to measure liquid volumes with high accuracy.

Submit
16. What is another term for a severe test or trial?

Explanation

A crucible is a vessel used for melting materials at high temperatures, but it is also used metaphorically to refer to a severe test or trial.

Submit
17. Identify the tool used to pick up small amounts of liquid.

Explanation

An eye dropper is specifically designed to pick up small amounts of liquid using a suction method. Pliers, screwdrivers, and tweezers are not typically used for this purpose.

Submit
18. Identify the kitchen tool used for separating solids from liquids.

Explanation

A strainer is used for separating solids from liquids by allowing the liquid to pass through while trapping the solid particles. A spatula is used for flipping and lifting food items, a whisk is used for mixing ingredients, and a peeler is used for removing the outer skin of vegetables and fruits.

Submit
19. Identify the object commonly known as Mesh Wire.

Explanation

Mesh Wire is a type of wire fencing that consists of a series of intersecting lines that form a grid-like pattern. It is commonly used for various applications such as fencing, animal enclosures, and construction projects.

Submit
20. What is the name of this measuring device?

Explanation

A spring scale is used to measure the weight of an object by the tension force of a spring. A thermometer measures temperature, a compass shows direction, and a ruler is used for linear measurement.

Submit
21. What is the name of this laboratory equipment?

Explanation

The correct answer is Florence Flask. Erlenmeyer Flask, Test Tube, and Beaker are other common laboratory equipment but they are not the same as Florence Flask.

Submit
22. What is the item to be identified?

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Metal Ring' because it is a circular piece made of metal, distinct from the other options provided.

Submit
23. Identify the tool in the image below.

Explanation

The tool shown in the image is an Alcohol Burner commonly used in laboratories for heating purposes. It is distinguishable by its small size, wick, and glass container for holding alcohol.

Submit
24. What is the name of the glass container often used in laboratories for measuring liquids?

Explanation

Beakers are cylindrical glass containers with a flat bottom used in labs for holding, mixing, and measuring liquids. Erlenmeyer flask, test tubes, and Bunsen burners are other types of lab equipment but not typically used for measuring liquids like a beaker.

Submit
25. What is being identified in the question?

Explanation

The correct answer 'Digital Scale' specifically refers to a device used to measure weight digitally. The incorrect answers do not match the description of a digital scale.
