Question 10 • LA-Chemistry A

Which will ensure laboratory safety during the experiment? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
using beaker tongs to handle the hot beaker
B
reading the thermometer accurately
C
checking the beaker for chips prior to heating on the hot plate
D
using a beaker instead of an Erlenmeyer flask
E
turning off the hot plate after use

Explanation

Use beaker tongs to handle a hot beaker to prevent burns. Check the beaker for chips before heating, since damaged glassware can break when heated, and turn off the hot plate after use to reduce fire and burn risks. Reading the thermometer accurately is important for getting reliable results, but it is not itself a laboratory safety measure; choosing a beaker over an Erlenmeyer flask does not ensure safety.
