Q & A

What are the basic safety procedures to follow in a Geochemistry Laboratory?

The basic safety procedures include wearing a laboratory coat, mask, rubber or latex gloves, and safety goggles. Additionally, one should not direct chemicals towards others, dispose of waste properly, and clean equipment thoroughly after use.

What should you do if your hand or body is accidentally exposed to acid in the Geochemistry Laboratory?

Immediately wash the exposed area with soap and flowing water.

What is the purpose of a volumetric flask in the Geochemistry Laboratory?

A volumetric flask is used to prepare liquids or solutions with a precise volume and specific molarity.

What does a beaker glass typically contain and what is its use in the lab?

A beaker glass is used to contain liquids and perform chemical reactions or experiments involving liquids.

What is the primary function of a glass rod in a Geochemistry Laboratory?

A glass rod, also known as a stirring rod, is used to stir or mix chemicals and liquids.

What is the purpose of a test-tube rack in the Geochemistry Laboratory?

A test-tube rack is used to hold test tubes in an organized manner.

What is the role of a pH meter in the Geochemistry Laboratory?

A pH meter is used to measure the pH level of a solution, which indicates its acidity or alkalinity.

What is the maximum temperature that the Ney Vulcan D-130 oven can reach?

The Ney Vulcan D-130 oven can reach a maximum temperature of 1100 degrees Celsius.

What information does a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provide for chemical substances?

An MSDS provides information about the chemical and physical properties, storage, and handling procedures of a material.

What are the two hazard symbols mentioned in the Ethanol MSDS?

The two hazard symbols for Ethanol are 'Flammable' and 'Exclamation mark', indicating it is easily caught by fire and can be an irritant or dangerous for the ozone.

What are the three hazard symbols associated with Methanol according to its MSDS?

The three hazard symbols for Methanol are 'Flammable', 'Skull & crossbones', and 'Health hazard', indicating it is easily caught by fire, acutely toxic, and dangerous for the human respiratory system.
