1. What three elements are used in an autoclave to sterilize equipment? 2. What is the minimum temperature an autoclave must be set at to achieve sterile condition? 3. If you are working in a lab in which an autoclave is not available, and you are pressed for time, which would you chose to best sterilize your equipment? Hot steam or hot air? Explain why you chose your answer. 4. What type of incubator is pictured below?

What is the general principle behind using an autoclave? How does it work? What is the advantage of using an autoclave (generates steam with high pressure and temperature) to sterilize surgical instruments rather than simply boiling them in water? Why must containers of liquid be open prior to autoclaving? What are sterility indicators? Why must they be used?

A flask contains a mixture of isohexane and 3-methylpentane. One of the liquids boils at $63^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ while the other boils at $60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. What is the best way to separate the two liquids and which one will be distilled out first? (a) fractional distillation, isohexane (b) simple distillation, 3 -methylpentane (c) simple distillation, isohexane (d) fractional distillation, 3 -methylpentane
