Part 1: Complete Labster Lab Chemistry Safety
Complete all parts of the Chemistry Safety Virtual Simulation Lab.
1. How would you write convo reaction from oil to bio diesel? Oil + alcohol +
catalyst = biodiesel + glycerol + catalyst
2. Which of the following hazards do not apply to methanol? Oxidizing
3. That is not the ideal place to put the methanol bottle. Why? To close to the
opening.
4. Which p-sentence indicates why you should work in the fume hood when using
methanol? P260 and P271
5. What is boiling point of methanol? 65 degrees Celsius
6. Why is it important to work in the fume hood during this step? Methanol is very
volatile at high temperatures.
7. This solution poses several hazards. Which of the following does not apply for
the sodium hydroxide-methanol solution? Explosive
8. Which of these hazards could be remembered by adding small amounts of a
certain solution? Corrosiveness
9. How should you dispose of remaining methanol solution? Into organic solution
waste
10. Which damage analysis is right? 2. Is worse than 1.
11. Which of the following solvents would be disposed in the halogenated solvent
waste? DCM
12. What did you do after you pulled me out of the lab? Trigger the alarm and break
the circuit.
13. Why did you decide not to grab the fire extinguisher and fight the fire? Too
dangerous.
Part 2: Report and Reflection
Purpose: Describe in complete sentences and in your own words, the purpose of this
simulation.
The purpose of the simulation is to demonstrate safety within a lab. An accident
can happen at any time and it is always better to know how to be safe and be
prepared
Observations: Record three observations from the simulation that would help you
perform experiments safely in a lab.
1. Use a fume hood when mixing chemicals to make sure that it can be safer.
2. Know what hazard symbols mean to identify what a chemical may be able to do
3. Always know where the fire alarm and circuit breaker are within a lab in case of
an emergency.
Answer the questions below:
1. Look up an MSDS of the chemical HCl. What are the major hazards and what
precautions would you take when handling this chemical?
