Be able to describe/name the hazard associated with the symbol. Refer to notes
T/F: Open toed shoes are permissible in the lab. Wearing goggles is optional
False, everyone needs to be wearing closed toed shoes and should always wear eye goggles
How do you correctly read the volume of water when using a graduated cylinder?
You measure at eye level and measure at the miniscus (curved surface). You do this because water is adhesive/cohesive and will stick to the side of the glass.
