Management Of Chemicals And Chemical Laboratories Flashcards
1.Prevent waste
2. Microscale work and wet chemistry elimination
3. Use of safer solvents and other materials
4. Design experimental products for degradation after use
5. Mercury replacements in the laboratory
Green chemistry in Laboratory
This must be carefully planned to preveny wastage of chemicals in the laboratory
Acquisition of chemicals
Chemical orders or purchase should NOT be determined by the chaper unit price basis of large quantities but rather by the amount needed for the experiment
True
It is a record usually database which in some cases is q required document for regulatory compliance that lists the chemicals in the laboratory
Chemical inventory
Is an important component to a laboratory saftey program improper practice of this may result in accidents due to undesired reactions from contaminations.
Chemical storage
Inorganic minerals or acids such as HCl HF H2SO4 H3PO4 ang organic acids should be paired with bases and cyanides
No they should not
Corrosive bases such as ammonium hydroxides and sodium hydroxides should not be paired with acids
True necause they are incompatible
Flammables such as acetone benzene and ethanol should not be paired with an oxidizers
True
All explosives such as acetone, peroxides, trinitrobenzene should be stored away from all other chemicals and should not be paired with flammable liquids , oxidizers , acids and bases
True
All explosives such as acetone, peroxides, trinitrobenzene should be stored away from all other chemicals and should not be paired with flammable liquids , oxidizers , acids and bases
True
Oxidizers such as Sodium hypochlorite, clorates should be separated from reducing agents, flammables, and combustibles
True
Water reactive chemicals should be stored in dry and cool location ptlrotected from water fire spinkler such as sodium metal and potassium metal. They shoukd be separated from all aq solution and oxidizers
True
Compressed gas should be stored in dry area away from oxidizing gas with securing strap or chain cylinders to a wall bench top such as oxygen chlorine and bromine. Methane acetylene, propane should not be paired with oxidizing toxic compressed gases and They should not be paired with flammable gases.
True
Special consideration includes HNO3 and HClO4 should be stored within a corrosive storage cabinets due to oxidizing charactersistics. And they should not be laired with any other chemicals.
True
