There are a few rules that everyone

must follow when handling acids:

1. Always check the reagent bottle which contained the acid, or ask your teacher about the dangers of the acid.

2. Always have on safety goggles whenever acids are present. It is also a good idea to wear an apron too.

3. When mixing acid and water, always pour the acid into the water.

4. Never allow the acid to come into contact with your skin unless your teacher says has told you that it is okay.

5. Always clean up any spilled acid as soon as possible.

6. Never disturb an unmarked substance because it may be an acid.

7. If an acid comes in contact with your skin wash it with soap, because the soap will neutralize the acid.
