Q & A

Why can't experiments be conducted in just any room?

Experiments are conducted in a laboratory because it is equipped with specialized tools and features that ensure precision and safety when handling chemicals and conducting experiments.

What is the purpose of a measuring cup in a laboratory?

A measuring cup is used to measure the volume of liquids or chemical solutions accurately in the laboratory.

What are Erlenmeyer flasks used for?

Erlenmeyer flasks are used for mixing and storing liquid substances in the lab.

What safety precautions should be followed when working in a laboratory?

Lab safety precautions include wearing appropriate clothing (like long pants, closed shoes, and a lab coat), using safety gear (like gloves and goggles), listening to the teacher's instructions, and being cautious with chemicals and fire.

Why is it important to use a test tube rack in a lab?

A test tube rack is used to hold or support test tubes during experiments to prevent spills or accidents.

What does the symbol of a skull and crossbones on a chemical label mean?

The skull and crossbones symbol indicates that the substance is poisonous and must be handled with extreme care.

What should you do if a substance spills or a tool breaks in the lab?

If a substance spills or a tool breaks, immediately report it to the teacher to manage the situation safely.

What should be done before beginning an experiment in the laboratory?

Before starting an experiment, you should wear proper protective clothing, listen to the teacher's instructions, ensure the lab is organized, and understand the safety procedures.

What is the danger of mixing strong acid with strong base in the lab?

Mixing strong acid with a strong base is dangerous because it causes a highly reactive chemical reaction, which can lead to hazardous situations.

Why is it not allowed to return leftover chemicals to their original containers?

Returning leftover chemicals to their original containers can contaminate the remaining chemicals, leading to inaccurate results or dangerous reactions.
