Interpretation:
The actions to be taken during an accidental spill in class needs to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
Chemists use their own specialized tools and equipment in the laboratory. The tools and equipment are designed in such a way so that it becomes easier for the chemists to measure mass, measure volume, and to mix, heat, cool, observe, and other separate substances.
Answer to Problem 4E
During accidental spill in class, the spreading of vapors should be prevented, the acids and bases must be neutralized, the residues should be cleaned up.
Explanation of Solution
It is important to work carefully and safely in class or in laboratories. In laboratory, everyone should wear safety goggles. One should always wear appropriate clothing and shoes with closed-toe.
On an accidental spill in class, the spread of dusts and vapors must be prevented, if possible, the acids and bases should be neutralized, the liquid should be absorbed as soon as possible, the residues must be cleaned up and the waste must be disposed.
One should be very careful during a accidental spill in class and should adopt various safety measures to handle such accidental spill.
