In this video, we want to talk about proper lab safety procedures for handling acid spills.
00:06
So we have a series of options here, and we want to pick all of the options that are appropriate for handling acid spills.
00:13
All right.
00:14
So answer choice a, cover with sodium bicarbonate, which is a weak base.
00:21
Yeah, that makes sense because you want to neutralize the acid.
00:24
And so adding a weak base is a safe way to do that.
00:27
Allow the spill to neutralize.
00:28
Sweep up the residue, and you want to dispose of.
00:30
It in a particular chemical container, not just the standard trash.
00:35
So yeah, that is very much the correct procedure.
00:39
Answer choice b is wrong because you don't want to wipe up the spills and just throw everything in the trash.
00:44
That's problematic.
00:45
You want to dispose of them in a designated container since they contain toxic chemical waste.
00:53
Definitely don't ignore the spell...
