Chemical Analysis in the Laboratory: A Basic Guide

In your notebook, prepare a worksheet like the one shown in Table 4.3. For this exercise you need:
Analytical balance reading to 0.0001 g (0.1 mg).
25 cm 3 glass bulb pipette (Class B).
100 cm 3 beaker.
Thermometer 0 to 100 C, reading to 0.1 C.
Distilled or deionised water (about 200 cm 3) in a conical flask.
Paper towel.

| Balance checked and found OK | yes | no |
| Pipette checked for cleanliness and absence of chips | yes | no |
| Pipette filler function checked and found OK | yes | no |
| Thermometer function checked and found OK | yes | no |
