It's a good idea to mention not dropping, say, calcium, or some other highly reactive metal, into water, and to stand back ('where necessary').Danger said:what do i write as a "brief hazard analysis" for a chemistry prac exam on reactivity of metals?
can someone give me an example?
I think any of the group 1 alkali metals arent given to students, arent they black dotted chemicals?Lucid Scintilla said:It's a good idea to mention not dropping, say, calcium, or some other highly reactive metal, into water, and to stand back ('where necessary').
In addition to this, you might want to consider wearing the whole deal - a lab coat, goggles/safety glasses, and gloves - and to tie back hair, for safety reasons of course.
It's a given; don't mix acid and water, unless you're fine with a most probably highly exothermic reaction occurring.
A lot of it should be given.
Good luck with whatever it is.
