  • What is the primary purpose of the NaOH trap used in this experiment?

    The NaOH trap absorbs acidic gases or vapors to prevent their release into the laboratory.
  • When are the chemical-saturated disks placed on the plate?

    Chemical-saturated disks are placed on the plate after the medium is prepared and cooled.
  • Which one of these sentences is appropriate for a formal lab report in CHM113 lab?

    The solution was titrated until the endpoint was reached.
  • Which ports on the multimeter should you use if you want to measure the resistance of a component?

    Use the COM (common) and Ω (ohm) ports to measure resistance.
  • What type of hazards do the standard pictograms represent?

    Standard pictograms represent chemical, physical, and health hazards.
  • Which tool could be used to measure the mass of a package being mailed?

    A balance or scale can be used to measure the mass of a package.
  • What type of gloves protects your hands from hazardous chemicals?

    Nitrile or neoprene gloves protect hands from hazardous chemicals.
  • What is the safest solution to protect yourself from chemical hazards in the work environment?

    Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is the safest solution.
  • How should chemicals be stored?
