Chemical Hygiene Plans for Science Classrooms
A chemical hygiene plan (CHP) is a written program stating the policies, procedures, and responsibilities that serve to protect employees from the health hazards associated with the hazardous chemicals used in that particular workplace.
General Rules for Chemical Storage
First, identify any specific requirements regarding the storage of chemicals from: local, state, and federal regulations insurance carriers To help facilitate safe chemical storage, many Carolina chemical bottles have color-coded caps . The cap color indicates the appropriate storage setting making it easy to visually spot a misplaced chemical and to locate the chemical group […]
Titrations: Techniques and Calculations
A titration is one of the most common quantitative lab techniques for determining the concentration of an unknown chemical. The power of the process is its simplicity, as there is a visual indication, a color change, that allows the reaction process to be monitored and the amounts of reactants measured.
Acid-Base Indicators
This introduction to acid-base indicators includes a helpful table of Carolina’s indicator ranges, the pH values of common household acids and bases, plus a fun invisible ink demonstration that you and your students will enjoy.
Signs of Chemical Changes: Testing for CO2, O2, and H2
When chemistry or physical science students initially learn about chemical changes and chemical reactions, they are taught to look for evidence of the change or reaction. Chemical changes, or reactions, are the result of breaking bonds in the starting substances, called reactants, and the rearrangement of those substances and bonds to make new substances, called products. The […]
