Process skills: C.1A demonstrate safe practices during laboratory and field investigation; C.1B know specific hazards of chemical substances

Safety Rules• Read lab and be familiar with safety issues.• Tie back long hair, roll up sleeves, wear closed toe

shoes, and put on goggles and apron.• Never eat, drink, or apply make-up in lab.• Do not use burners near flammable materials.• Always point test tube away from you and others

when heating chemicals.• Never directly inhale a gas or vapor.• Always add acids or bases to water when making

dilutions. (A&W rootbeer)• Never use electrical equipment near water.• Report accidents to your teacher ASAP.• Wear a hat, long sleeves, and closed-toed shoes

during field investigations.

SAFETY- Vocabulary

• Carcinogen – causes cancer• Corrosive – gradually destructive• Ventilation – circulate fresh air• Irritant – causes redness & itching, burning & is

harmful• Oxidizer – combines with oxygen and burns• Toxic – poisonous• Flammable – possible to burn• Fumes – vapor, gas, or smoke that can be harmful• Radioactive – damages tissues by removing

electrons or breaking bonds

Chemical Symbols• Chemical Safety Symbols• Flammable

• Corrosive

• Environmental Hazard

• Poisonous

• Radioactive

MSDS

There is an MSDS sheet for every chemical which gives:• Physical data: density, solubility, pH, etc.• Appearance and odor• Reactivity• Health hazards• Special precautions: gloves & goggles• First aid

NFPA Diamond

• Used to identify hazards using graphic representation

• Used on chemical labels, buildings and transports

Laboratory EquipmentEquipment Purpose_____ ____________________________Beaker measures liquid volume in a wide mouth container

Burette dispenses precise liquid amounts via a vertical tube

Electric Balance measures mass; can “tare” (rezero)

Erlenmeyer Flask holds liquids; conical base and cylindrical neck allow liquids to be stoppered or swirled

Graduated Cylinder measures liquid’s volume; more precise than beakers

Pipette transfers small liquid amounts using a thin tube

Test Tube holds chemicals; glass tube with one open end

Thermometer measures the temperature (kinetic energy) of substance (C or K)

Volumetric Flask holds liquids; provides a precise measurement of a single volume (L or mL)Match Pictures with Equipment Name:

B carry the reactants outside, away from other students

C leave the room and go to an area with fresh airD spray the reaction with a fire extinguisher
