General Lab Safety Total Points: 20 General Lab Safety Pre-Lab Questions (4 points) 1. What should you always wear to protect your eyes when you are in a laboratory? 2. Should you add acid to water or water to acid? 3. Where should you dispose of broken glass? 4. What should you do if you spill a chemical on your hand? © eScience Labs, 2018 Safety Goggles/Glasses. Acid should be added to water. In a protective container and place it in the trash. Flush the area immediately with a large amount of water and wash it with soap.
General Lab Safety Exercise 1: What Is It? (6 points) Laboratories contain specialized equipment used while performing experiments. Locate each item pictured on this page in your lab kit, and place a check mark in the appropriate place when you find it. After you have completed this checklist, sketch 5 additional items in your lab kit that will be useful in completing the labs that follow.

General Lab Safety Post-Lab Questions (3 points) 1. Why should you add acid to water rather than add water to acid when preparing solutions? 2. How much sodium bicarbonate was needed to neutralize the solution in beaker C? 3. If a more concentrated initial solution of sodium bicarbonate was used in beaker C, would it require more or less bicarbonate to neutralize the acid? Why? Picture (1 Point): Insert a picture of yourself completing this lab to this word document prior to uploading for full credit. © eScience Labs, 2018 Acid is added to water to prevent the rapid generation of heat that could cause dangerous splattering, which occurs when water is added to acid. Beaker C required 1.5 units of sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the solution. Using a more concentrated initial solution of sodium bicarbonate in beaker C would require less bicarbonate to neutralize the acid due to the increased availability of bicarbonate ions for neutralization.
