Study Notes

Spill Cleanup and Waste Disposal

  • Final step in spill cleanup: Wipe down affected area with detergent and water.
  • Broken glass cleanup: Stop spill spread, soak liquid, and pick up large glass pieces with gloves.
  • Waste type disposal: Syringe tips in sharps container, solid reagents in solid waste, titrant in a Nalgene bottle, broken flasks in puncture-resistant bags.

Chemical Waste Containers and Handling

  • Start a new waste container when contents are a couple inches below the brim.
  • Supervising chemical waste cleanup is crucial, especially for hazardous materials like mercury.

Safety Procedures and Equipment

  • Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like gloves and goggles.
  • Personalize safety practices: close reagent bottles, return them post-use, and check labels before disposal.

Emergency Procedures and First Aid

  • Emergency response begins with gathering information calmly.
  • Flushing eyes at an eyewash station should last for 15 minutes for chemical contact.

Signage and Chemical Storage

  • NFPA diamond colors: Yellow (reactivity), Blue (health), Red (fire), White (special hazards).
  • Appropriate storage environments for chemicals: well-ventilated, dry, and dark areas.

Equipment and Technique Usage

  • Regularly check glassware for damage before heating.
  • Ensure Bunsen burner hoses have no leaks before lighting, and clear flammable materials.

Separation Techniques

  • Mixtures are separated based on physical properties: extraction (dissolving one component), decantation (pouring liquid off), filtration (trapping solids with barriers), sublimation (direct solid-to-gas).

Densities and Measurements

  • Density calculations involve measuring mass and volume, using extracted volume changes from solid displacements in liquids.

Metric Conversions and Calculations

  • Keep track of unit conversions: example from feet to miles or cm to kilometers.
  • Significant figures are essential in all calculations, governed by the least precise measurement.

Best Practices in Chemistry Labs

  • Change gloves frequently to reduce chemical exposure.
  • Maintain clear communication of hazards and ensure all lab members understand emergency protocols.
