Lab+Practices

Each section in the table below relates to a lab exercise we have completed. After each lab is completed, each AP chemistry student should write one lab practice in the cell next to one of the numbers. Each example that students provide will be unique. At no time in the year may you write an example that has been used before.


 * || Making Copper (II) Sulfate solutions ||
 * 1. || rinse the bottle you're going to store your solution in with a little bit of your solution 3 times so all the other things in the bottle are dissolved and out of the bottle when you store your solution ||
 * 2. || Always clean up after yourself using a wet sponge; wipe the table more than once just to be safe, especially if you have spilled something ||
 * 3. || Don't work next to the balance; it's a public place. ||
 * 4. || In cleaning up a chemical spill, always wipe inward from the outside so as to contain the spill. ||
 * 5. || When cleaning a pipet, at least circulate the water through it 10 times ||
 * 6. || Don't have electronics and wires on the edge of the table where you could accidentally get caught in the wires and pull the electronics on the floor. ||
 * 7. || Keep electronic instruments a reasonable distance away from large volumes of chemicals. ||
