If the question doesn't make sense how 'bout this one: "What chemicals should an amateur chemistry lab should have for experimentation?"
Swazii said:"What chemicals should an amateur chemistry lab should have for experimentation?"
Good question, should have said that also... Analytical, organic, inorganic and pure chemistry.Bystander said:None. That said, in what field are you planning to experiment?
Swazii said:Ok, and how to extinguish a fire with sand?
Yeah... that was a dumb question and I figured it out a while back.SteamKing said:Step 1. Find fire.
Step 2. Pick up bucket of sand
Step 3. Pour bucket of sand over fire.
Step 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 above until fire is extinguished.
(Note: to save time, have buckets filled with sand before fire breaks out.)
Thanks, I'll take a look at itvemvare said:
The specific chemicals needed in a lab may vary depending on the type of research being conducted, but there are some commonly used chemicals that are essential for most labs.
Some basic chemicals that all labs should have include acids (such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid), bases (such as sodium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide), solvents (such as ethanol and acetone), and salts (such as sodium chloride and potassium sulfate).
Yes, it is important to always follow proper safety protocols when handling chemicals in a lab. This includes wearing appropriate protective gear (such as gloves and safety glasses), properly labeling all chemicals, and following correct handling and disposal procedures.
Yes, labs should have appropriate storage containers for chemicals, such as glass or plastic bottles with secure lids. It is important to store chemicals in a cool, dry place and to keep them away from incompatible substances to prevent potential reactions.
Yes, there are often alternative chemicals or methods that can be used in place of hazardous chemicals. It is important for scientists to consider the potential hazards of a chemical and to use safer alternatives whenever possible.
Yes, there are many resources available such as chemical supply companies, safety data sheets, and scientific organizations that can provide guidance on which chemicals may be necessary for specific types of research. It is also important to consult with colleagues and experienced scientists for their recommendations.
