same temperature rise; citric acid and vinegar
are weak acids; they/weak acids give lower

Quick Check Answers
7Fa WS 1 Any ten from:
● object being thrown across the room
● bare wires connected up to mains electrical socket
● crisps/food being eaten
● Bunsen burner near the edge of the bench about to topple off
● long hair not tied back
● bags in a pile – trip hazard
● pupils running around the room
● pupils balancing on two legs of the stool, about to fall backwards
● chemical (irritant) being poured from great height, no funnel
● many pupils have no eye protection – one is looking directly down the tube
● test tubes are being heated at the bottom – risk of liquid boiling and shooting out
● pupil touching hot beaker and burning himself
● beaker left by edge of the bench about to be knocked on to the floor
● chemical fumes coming from a beaker and being inhaled
● no lab coats being worn
2 Safety rules should address these issues, preferably in a positive way,
e.g. ‘Always make sure that apparatus is kept well away from the edge of the bench.’
