Q & A

  • What are some general safety tips when conducting a practical experiment?

    -Always wear your lab coat and safety goggles, tie back long hair to prevent it from catching fire, and follow the instructions provided to avoid accidents.

  • Why is it important to tie back long hair during an experiment?

    -If long hair is left loose, it could catch fire, especially when working with flames, which can result in serious injuries.

  • What is the purpose of the pictograms on chemical containers?

    -Pictograms indicate potential hazards associated with the chemical, such as flammability, irritation, corrosiveness, toxicity, or environmental dangers.

  • How should you handle chemicals that are corrosive?

    -Corrosive chemicals can cause burns or skin damage, so it's important to avoid skin contact, wear protective gear, and handle them carefully.

  • What is the significance of H and P phrases on chemicals?

    -H phrases (Hazard phrases) describe the specific dangers of a chemical, while P phrases (Precautionary phrases) explain the precautions to take when handling or storing the chemical.

  • What does H200 mean on a chemical label?

    -H200 indicates that the substance is unstable and explosive, requiring careful handling to avoid accidents.

  • Why should tongs be used when heating test tubes?

    -Using tongs ensures that your hands are kept at a safe distance from the heat source, preventing burns from hot glass.

  • Why is it important to avoid overfilling a test tube during an experiment?

    -Overfilling a test tube can lead to splashing of chemicals when heated, which can cause burns or other injuries.

  • What should you do if you spill a hazardous substance on your skin?

    -Immediately rinse the affected area with water and seek medical attention if necessary, especially for corrosive or toxic substances.

  • What does P420 on a chemical label indicate?

    -P420 advises that certain substances must be stored separately from other materials to prevent dangerous chemical reactions.
