Lab 1 LABORATORY SAFETY

-

1. Introduction


 Laboratory Safety is a very important aspect of science. Without it, experimentation could result in very serious and intense injury, if not death, obviously. To reduce the risks involved with experimentation, there are certain procedures that we should all pursue as individuals and as a member of a group. It is important that the correct procedures and methods are used in various situations, when handling hazardous and risky or biological materials, when preparing, executing or cleaning up an experiment. It is also likewise that you understand how to identify and use emergency equipment and protective gear.Work in the laboratory requires ongoing attention and reinforcement of safety practices. Neglecting to take reasonable precautions may not only endanger your own life but the safety of those working with you.
2. Materials and methods



Methods

  1. We have searched for all the materials that are related to laboratory safety procedures, protective procedures, emergency procedures and chemical safety in selected laboratory.
  2. Then, we listed our observations including taking some pictures as proofs.


Materials

  1. Materials that we have used are all provided in the laboratory.
3. Results

 List of protective procedure in lab and our observation.
  • All of us wore long pants and dresses.Nobody wore shorts or sandals.
  • All of us were wearing personal protective equipment (eye protection, coats, gloves; glasses may be preferred to contact lenses), and using such equipment in appropriate situations.
  • We used appropriate pipetting devices and understanding that mouth pipetting is forbidden.

We did not use mask and glove as the experiment was just involving distilled water.

  • We did not eat or drink in the laboratory.

List of emergency procedure in lab and our observations.

  • We located and properly used emergency equipment.
Fire extinguishers

Emergency Plan
First Aid Kit and Fire Blanket
Disposal Waste Bin
Emergency Hotline Number


Exit Sign


Washing Station 


Laboratory chemicals that we found are,
Ethanol

Hidrochloric acid

Sodium Hydroxide
Nitric Acid
Isopropyl Alcohol



4. Discussion

 In our discussion, we realized that some laboratory emergency procedures such as wash station could not be used at first. And we also realized that some chemical substance label is blurred and we could not be confident about the status of those chemicals. These errors can be dangerous to us and also making our research not accurate. Other than that, all the safety precautions have been followed and 
the safe and good work culture in the laboratory should be continued .We also discussed about the importaness of laboratory safety in our daily life. We also discussed the danger that we could get without laboratory safety. 
5.Conclusion

 We can conclude that laboratory safety is important in our life as a researcher. Without these guidelines, it can bring us serious damage to us and people around us. Afterall,our safety is the most important aspect to us.Other than that ,without laboratory safety,it will cost you so much to replace the broken apparatus. It will also waste your time and also making our researches inaccurate. We also can conclude that we should always make sure that these guidelines is followed by every individual that is related to laboratory in order to keep everyone safe.

LAB 3 : TITRATION

Title : Titration Introduction      Titration is the slow addition of one solution of a known concentration that called as titrant to a known volume of another solution of unknown solution until the reactions reaches neutralization. Which is indicated by a color change. While acid - base titration are usually used to find the amount of a known acidic or basic substance through acid base reactions. The analyte that is titrand is the solution with an unknown molarity. The reagent is the solution with known molarity that will react with the analyte.       Strong acid like hydrochloric acid has a concentration that normally around 0 to 1. And it can completely dissociate in water easily. While the weak acid such as acetic acid cannot dissociate completely in water. pH is the measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. So the lower the pH the higher the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution.   Objectives A) To observe the property of weak acid with the

LAB 6 : MICROBIOLOGY

Part 1: Aseptic Technique 1.0      OBJECTIVE            1)  To produce isolated colonies of an organism on an agar plate and useful when we need to seperate organisms in a mixed cultures 2)  To identify bacteria are only valid when performed on pure cultures. 1.1     INTRODUCTION Bacteria are everywhere, and some  are good for us  while others are harmful. Bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that cause disease are called pathogens. To protect patients from harmful bacteria and other pathogens during medical procedures, healthcare providers use aseptic technique. An acid/base titration can be monitored with an indicator or with a pH meter. In either case, the goal is to determine the equivalence point of the titration. This is the point at which enough titrant has been added to the analyte to just exactly neutralize the analyte. In this experiment, knowledge of the equivalence point will be used to obtain information about the acid dissociation con
