Question 21 Which of the following methods is the best way to handle waste acid? O (d) Save the acid in a beaker and use for another experiment at another time. O (a) Evaporate most of the water from the acid and then pour it down the drain. O (c) Pour the acid down the drain while flushing with plenty of boiling water. O (e) With the instructor's consent, neutralize the acid with a base and pour it down the drai O (b) Pour the acid down the drain and then flush it with the same volume of base.

13. A chemistry student offers a possible improvement to this lab. Since one goal of this lab is to determine the mass of the precipitate produced, wouldn't it be possible to measure the mass of an empty beaker, mix the solutions, and boil off the water until it is entirely evaporated, leaving only solid behind? Then the beaker with the precipitate could be weighed, and the difference between this mass and that of the empty beaker would be the mass of the precipitate. This would eliminate the need for the filtration step. Explain why this is a poor suggestion. Remember to check your reasoning on this question and all other questions with your instructor.
Lead is a possible contaminant in public water systems. There are many reasons we should be concerned about this, but this may be especially concerning if the water is used for drinking. Removing all lead is not feasible, so many local governments must set an “acceptable” concentration for contaminants. The “acceptable” concentration of lead in public water for some states is 7.2 x 10^-7 M. If 10.00 mL of 1.00 M lead is poured down the sink, how many liters of water are required to make sure the concentration of lead is 7.1 x 10^-7 M, which is just below the acceptable level?
1) Get two medium test tubes. Into one, place about 2 mL of a solution of copper (II) sulfate. Into the other add about 2 mL of a solution of sodium phosphate. Note the appearence of the two solutions and then mix them together noting any changes that have taken place. -Changes that take place -Balanced chemical equation -Balanced ionic equation -balanced net ionic equation

Sodium hydroxide is a substance that causes severe burns. It is used in many educational laboratory activities, but because of its hazardous nature, care must be taken to ensure its safe use in the lab. Select the statements that are true regarding the nature of sodium hydroxide and the safety precautions that should be used when handling it in the laboratory. Sodium hydroxide solutions with high concentration can cause severe burns. If sodium hydroxide is spilled on skin or clothing, the contaminated clothing should be removed immediately and the affected area should be drenched with plenty of water. Medical attention should be sought if a large area is affected, or if blistering occurs. Eye protection should be worn at all times when handling any form of sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide solutions are particularly dangerous to the eyes. If sodium hydroxide is introduced to the eyes, flush the affected eye continuously with water for at least 15 min. Get medical attention…
