These questions concern waste disposal in the Solubility Rules lab. Select the correct response from each pull-down menu. (a) All of the solutions prepared in this experiment should be
(b) It is a good idea to have a in the work area to collect waste during the experiment.
(c) A of deionized water can be used to rinse the solutions into the beaker.
(d) Use the amount of water possible, to avoid creating of waste solution.

a) discarded in the waste container

b) labelled beaker

c) squeeze bottle

d) minimum, large volume

Explanation:

Every chemical process produces waste. Disposal of chemical waste must be carried out safely and carefully.

It is important that a beaker is duly labelled and used to collect the waste. The target should always be to keep the volume of waste solution at the barest minimum. This is done by using a very little amount of water in processes that generate waste solutions.
