What is the main hazard for this experiment? What would be your best course of action if exposed to this hazard? Make your TA aware of the exposure.Visit the student health center if the area continues to burn, become discolored or irritated.Rinse the affected area with cool water for 10-15 minutes.Wipe the affected area down with ethanol every day for 3 days.Run around the room screaming about your burn.

Which three statements below relate to safety precautions specific to this experiment? It is ok to use 4-Aminophenol to clean the bench 4-Aminophenol is toxic and fatal if inhaled. Avoid breathing the solid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use in fume hood. Wear gloves. Toxic to aquatic environment. Do not dispose down the sink. Ethanol is not volatile or flammable Acetic anhydride is toxic, corrosive and a lachrymator (causes tears). Wear gloves, dispense and use it in a fume hood, and avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. If anhydride gets on your skin, wash it off immediately with copious amounts of water. If anhydride gets on your gloves, rinse and remove the gloves and check skin. Ethanol is volatile, toxic and flammable. Acetic anhydride is non-toxic and can be handled with gloves and outside the fume hood.
