BIOCHEMISTRY
Work in the biochemistry laboratory involves the use of
inflammable solvents, some corrosive and toxic chemical, and apparatus
boiling point of ethyl ether and petroleum ether
30-60C
how do we collect the distillate?
in an ice-cooled flask
best remedy when corrosive chemicals are spilled on the clothing
Immediate showering (with clothing on)
should be washed with water on the skin then massaged with ethanol or glycerine
BROMINE
what solution will be used if there is an acid spillage?
weak solution of sodium bicarbonate
base spillage
use boric acid
corrosive chemical spillage on the desk: acid solution
sodium bicarbonate
corrosive chemical spillage on the desk: base solution
diluted acetic acid
Accidental swallowing of acids
dilute sodium carbonate
drink water followed by milk
