A Lab safety practice test quiz is waiting for you. Many substances are found within the lab and it is essential to follow the basic Lab safety procedures so as to avoid accidents at all costs. Take up the quiz below and learn everything about lab safety.

    1. Why is it important to know the names and appearance of lab equipment before doing laboratory work?

    So you will score higher on the lab test.So you can quickly obtain your laboratory supplies before lab.So you can follow the lab instructions clearly.So you can make sure everything has been cleaned before beginning the lab procedure.

    2. What is the correct procedure to follow when smelling the odor of a chemical substance?

    Fan your hand over the substance toward your nose which should be directly over the beaker.Place your nose directly over the substance and take a big whiff.Fan your hand over the substance toward your nose which should be several centimeters away from the substance.Place your nose near the opening of the beaker and inhale.

    3. Which of the following is NOT a safe lab practice?

    Keep chemicals, glassware, and other equipment away from the edge of the lab table.After removing glassware from a heat source, touch it immediately to see if it is cool.Report minor accidents to your lab supervisor and/or teacher.Heat chemicals in a flask without a stopper.

    Product Guide

    A Burette is an essential laboratory instrument, commonly used in the titration process for quantitative analysis in many industrial chemical tests where solutions of known concentration are used to find the concentration of unknown solutions.

    The Electronic Burette or E-Burette has an electronic display, electronic control panel and motor-controlled piston movements that eliminate all problems of the digital burette which dispenses manually. The accuracy of an electronic burette is higher than a digital burette due to motor controlled dispensing. This motorized system eliminates human errors in the titration/dispensing process, making the titration more precise.
