4. A science class is conducting an experiment that produces noxious fumes. Because of inadequate ventilation, some students begin to feel nauseated and dizzy. The first response should be to — A neutralize the acid that is reacting to produce the noxious fumes B carry the reactants outside, away from other students C leave the room and go to an area with fresh air D spray the reaction with a fire extinguisher 55 Home Back to safety, etc

5. The safest way to dilute concentrated sulfuric acid is to add A a series of small volumes of water to the acid while stirring B the acid to water slowly while stirring constantly C the acid to a small volume of water and then add more water D dilute sulfuric acid to a small volume of the concentrated acid 1 Home Back to safety, etc

6. Acids must be handled with extreme care. You will be shown the proper method for diluting strong acids. Always add acid to water, swirl or stir the solution and be careful of the heat produced, particularly with sulfuric acid. WA AW Home Back to safety, etc

7. Laboratory equipment is cleaned and properly stored after use primarily so that — A chemical products can be measured and recorded as data B time is saved in setting up the next experiment C toxic materials can be kept in the laboratory D the possibility of contamination in the laboratory is minimized 55 A clean lab prevents accidents, contamination and worry. Home Back to safety, etc

8. The reason for wafting or fanning a small amount of chemical vapors toward the nose as a means to detect odors in a test tube is to — A avoid experimental error from excessive loss of mass of reactants or products B avoid splashing chemicals into the face of any person C protect the respiratory tract against potentially harmful vapors D determine the relative strength of the odor before smelling directly 15 Home Back to safety, etc

9. Reactions that produce toxic gases should be performed in a — A laboratory fume hood B beaker with a watch glass on top C well-ventilated area of the lab D warm, airtight drying oven 15 Home Back to safety, etc

10. 9 All of these procedures must be followed when using the setup shown except — A putting on safety goggles B handling the beaker with tongs C securing loose clothing D wearing rubber gloves Always wear goggles when using glassware, heat/fire and chemicals. And always secure loose clothing and hair. Latex, rubber gloves would melt. Cotton gloves handle heated glassware. Home Back to safety, etc

11. A safety checklist for this activity should include the presence of a proper fire extinguisher and all the following items except a — A fire blanket B receptacle for broken glass C laboratory apron D squeeze bottle 35 Lab aprons are used when there is fire and/or chemicals in use. Home Back to safety, etc

12. The ingredients described above are used to make a bonding agent. The most important safety precaution to take when applying this bonding agent is to — F dry it with a small flame G work in a well-ventilated area H cover the work area with newspaper J wear a lab coat 2 Home Back to safety, etc

13. Classification symbols for certain fire extinguishers are shown below. Which class of fire extinguisher should be used when a hot plate overheats and catches on fire? 24 Home Back to safety, etc
