LABORATORY INTRODUCTI ON TOPIC OUTLINE:  Laboratory Laboratory Apparatus Introduction Laboratory Rules  GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS RULES AND PROCEDURES FOR A SAFE LABORATORY EXPERIMENT THE APPARATUS The common laboratory apparatus  used in Chemistry is found in the Instrumentation Room. It would be beneficial for the student to be acquainted with the names and appearance of such equipment at the very beginning of their laboratory work. THE APPARATUS The instructor will issue many of these apparatuses to the students for the latter's use during the semester. Since the students will be held responsible for the equipment loaned  to them, they should carefully check all the apparatus received. THE APPARATUS They should have a duplicate copy of all apparatus or equipment received and signed for by them. Any apparatus broken or lost has to be replaced or paid for by the student. If the apparatus were issued to a group of students, the receipt has to be signed by all the group members. The group members will share equally the cost of replacement or payment for any breakage or loss made during the semester, no matter who lost or broke the equipment.  expected results. 01. 02.

Keep the laboratory room tidy all THE LABORATORY SAFETY MEASURES To minimize and prevent the danger of accidents arising from explosions, breaking of glass apparatus, and the likes, the following suggestions are offered. SAFETY MEASURES ON HOW TO HANDLE LABORATORY APPARATUS Students should not work in the laboratory without an instructor in charge. Unless a special permit has been secured, no unassigned experiments must be performed When heating the contents of a test tube, the tube should be held in a slanting direction upward and not pointed towards anybody. When directed to "note the odor" of the issuing vapor, do not place the mouth of the test tube towards your nose; simply waft the vapors with the hand towards the nose. If the odor is not yet perceptible, then bring the receptacle nearer to the nose. Do not heat a test tube or flask when the stopper is tightly closed. SAFETY MEASURES ON HOW TO HANDLE LABORATORY APPARATUS Experiments producing irritating or poisonous vapors should be performed under the HOOD. Handle concentrated acids with care. Avoid the contact of the acids with the skin as these substances cause painful burns. Acids are poured into water and never the water into the acids. The reverse will cause the mixture to sputter all over. Potassium cyanide, arsenic trioxide, mercuric chloride, etc. are very poisonous. Do not taste it. Whenever directed to taste a substance, just place with the finger a minimal amount of the substance at the tip of your tongue and then rinse the mouth immediately with water. SPIT IT OUT. SAFETY MEASURES ON HOW TO HANDLE LABORATORY APPARATUS In cutting or inserting glass tubing, hold the glass tubing with a towel Label all containers properly. Return all bottles, reagents, etc. to their proper places. Have self-control, presence of mind, and poise when accidents happen. SAFETY MEASURES ON HOW TO HANDLE LABORATORY APPARATUS Take every precaution to prevent fires. Flames should never be brought near open vessel containing alcohol, ether, petroleum, benzene, etc. Live match sticks should not be thrown into the garbage can. Consult the laboratory instructor for the proper disposal of phosphorous wastes or any unused phosphorous. When a small fire breaks, turn off the gas quickly, then smother the flame either with a wet towel or an asbestos pad. Some students practice keeping a wet rag in the sink while the experiments are going on, "just in case." If these are not effective, use the fire extinguisher. In case the fire originated from phosphorus or sodium, put it out by throwing sand on it. In case of a big fire, call the fire department. Report all accidents to the instructor at once. Even minor cuts and burns should be treated promptly.  concentrated acids, etc. Do not handle solid KOH and NaOH. Be sure you are getting the right materials. A wrong mixture of materials may cause accidents such as explosions, burns, SAFETY etc. in the laboratory. Therefore, reading the label is essential when picking the container; removing the MEASURES ON stopper, and returning the bottle to its place. HOW TO HANDLE CHEMICALS 01. Be careful in handling such chemicals 02. Use only pure substances as reagents to get accurate and as bromine, phenol, phosphorus, reliable results. phosphorus trichloride, acetyl chloride, SAFETY MEASURES ON HOW TO HANDLE CHEMICALS 03. 04. Any extra number of reagents obtained from stock bottles should not be returned to the container to avoid contaminating the rest of the bottle's contents. Therefore, you should get only enough of the amount needed to avoid waste. Follow the proper laboratory methods. Make it a point to use a clean and dry apparatus. It is important to clean and invert (to drain) all the apparatus before leaving the laboratory so that it is dry before the next laboratory period. Connect your apparatus with care and follow the 05. specifications in the laboratory guide. Fit stoppers tightly. Glass tubing should have rounded bends, and the ends should be fire-polished. Glass tubes joined by rubber should touch end-to-end to avoid as much as possible contact SAFETY between the rubber tube and the chemicals. Paper, cloth, paraffin, etc. should not be used to MEASURES ON "patch" loose connections. By using the right size of cork-borer, glass tubing can be made to fit the holes tightly. The apparatus must be inspected and checked by the HOW TO HANDLE laboratory instructor before the actual experiment CHEMICALS LABORATORY ACCIDENTS AND FIRST AID 02. 03. 01.  Eye accidents: Skin Accidents a.
