Question
Chapter 1, Problem 5Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The type of disposable gloves present in the laboratory should be identified. Also whether they provide good or excellent protection from ethylene glycol, dichloromethane, hydrogen peroxide, and ethyl ether should be determined.
Concept introduction:
It isvery essential to wear gloves when experiments are performed with hazardous chemicals and other materials because they protect the hands from the infection caused by chemicals and contamination from radioactive and hazardous chemicals. The composition and thickness of gloves are important factors that determine the effectiveness of gloves.
