Safety is of utmost importance during any chemistry experiment. Always wear protective gear, such as goggles and gloves, and make sure to have a fire extinguisher and first aid kit nearby. Follow all instructions carefully and never mix chemicals unless directed by a teacher or experienced chemist.
Chemicals should never be disposed of in the sink or trash. Contact your local waste management facility for proper disposal guidelines. Many schools and organizations also have designated disposal areas for chemicals.
It is not recommended to substitute ingredients in a chemistry experiment without proper knowledge and understanding of the chemicals involved. This can result in dangerous or ineffective reactions. Always follow the instructions provided.
If a fire breaks out, immediately turn off all heat sources and evacuate the area. Use a fire extinguisher or fire blanket to put out the fire, if possible. If the fire cannot be contained, call for help and follow the emergency protocol for your location.
Always label and store chemicals properly and carefully read all instructions before adding any substances to a reaction. If you are unsure about a potential reaction, consult with a teacher or experienced chemist before proceeding.
