proper ventilation and laboratory safety equipment are essential when working with chemicals
engineering controls
standard features in a chemical laboratory to prevent its contamination with chemical fumes
fume hood and exhaust fans
include metals, minerals and non-metals
inorganic chemicals
carbon-containing chemicals
organic chemicals
based on these, each chemical group was subdivided into compatible chemical family
reactivity
within this, the various chemicals may then be arranged alphabetically for easier identification and self-designed systematic codes may also be incorporated for more efficient inventory purpose
compatible family
some chemicals require specific storage
corrosive and flammable chemicals
inorganic acids and some organic acids that are best kept in a corrosive/acid cabinet which is made up of wood with acid-resistant epoxy coating or dense plastic material
corrosive chemicals
never store corrosive chemicals in these as it is prone to corrosion by the acids
metal cabinets
examples include alcohol, ethers, ketones, and hydrocarbons
flammable chemicals
material of cabinets where flammable chemicals can be stored,
dense steel
used to evaluate a chemical reactio
balanced chemical equation
Shows the reactants and products
balanced chemical equation
Gives the number of moles of each substances used and produced
balanced chemical equation
the maximum amount of the product formed from a given amount of the reactants based on the balanced chemical equation
theoretical yield
the amount of product that is finally obtained after carrying out a reaction
actual yield
computed with the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield multiplied by 100
percent yield
percent yield formula
actual yield / theoretical yield x 100
reaction that allowed for the recovery of copper whose mass will be determined to calculate for the % yield
