Denise heats a beaker of dilute acid on a hot plate in a fume hood. What should Denise wear to best protect herself when she transports the beaker to a balance outside the hood?

Answer
A
heat-proof gloves, a lab coat, and close-toed shoes
B
goggles, a lab coat, and close-toed shoes
C
goggles, a lab coat, and heat-proof gloves
D
goggles, a lab coat, heat-proof gloves, and close-toed shoes

Explanation

The beaker contains acid, so Denise should wear goggles and a lab coat to protect her eyes and skin from splashes. Because the beaker was heated, heat-proof gloves protect her hands while carrying it, and close-toed shoes protect her feet from spills. Choice D includes all of these protections.
