OF COURSE NOT!!! Never eat or drink anything in the lab. Never taste any chemicals.
Should you take off your gloves if to clean up spilled acid?
NO! First of all, don’t take off your gloves, you don’t want burn marks. Secondly, always ask an adult (Mrs. Page) to clean it up.

“Hurry up! We have to leave”, Mrs. Page says after a long day of using Bunsen burners and other flammable objects. You realize you are really behind and need to hurry up. As you are nowhere near done, you decide to just scribble down the last sentence of the experiment and leave while the chemical still burns. One of the other teachers will probably clean it right? l Was this a bad choice? Why?
Yes, it was an awful choice 🤭😬 First of all, make sure to turn off all the bunsen burners. Don’t leave your experiment unattended! And just work more efficiently next time.
