Hello I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a website or book that covers purpose and "how-to" of various glassware pieces in chemistry. I'm looking for a general overview of many rather than the specific of a few. I've never found such info in my chemistry books and refuse to accept "wait until you use in lab" as an answer because it is costing me opportunities I deserve.

I have fundamental glassware understanding (beakers, flasks, etc.) and minimal with the more intricate ones.

Fluorine,

You can't go far wrong with a copy of Vogel's "Textbook of practical organic chemistry". It describes that various types of glassware and equipment commonly used in organic/general chemistry and show how various set-ups should be assembled... Very very good!

As a nice starter, the following link is the Royal Society of Chemistry's interactive lab primer http://www.chem-ilp.net/index.htm designed for students with little experience of practical chemistry. It describes simple apparatus, assembly and practical application. The Lab Techniques section is very good...

Kind Regards

R

The interactive one is amazing, I appreciate it! I will check the book within the next few days (via google or library).
