student spills dilute hydrochloric acid on her hand. What
is the first action this student should take? - √Answer
:Flush her hand with large quantities of water
Quiz :Within a living cell, the oxygen (O2) from a mixture

cloudy. This gas is most probably: - √Answer :carbon
dioxide
Quiz :Night blindness in humans is caused by a lack of: -
