Question

question 28 of 30 points possible: 1.00 to prevent accidental ingestion of chemicals, no food or drink is allowed in the lab. which of the following are acceptable locations to store a water bottle during lab? (select all that apply) select one or more: a. in the mesh side pocket of a backpack, for easy access. b. on the lab bench, as long as it’s far away from your experiment. c. on the table just outside the laboratory entrance. d. inside a backpack that is fully zipped closed. tries remaining: 2

Explanation:

• Option a: Storing a water bottle in a backpack's mesh pocket in the lab still risks accidental ingestion or spillage near chemicals, so it's not acceptable.
• Option b: Having a water bottle on the lab bench, even far from the experiment, is not allowed as labs prohibit food/drink to prevent contamination or ingestion, so this is unacceptable.
• Option c: Storing the water bottle on a table just outside the lab entrance keeps it away from the lab environment where chemicals are present, so this is acceptable.
• Option d: Keeping the water bottle inside a fully zipped backpack (presumably outside the lab or in a non - lab area) also keeps it away from lab chemicals, so this is acceptable.

Answer:

c. On the table just outside the laboratory entrance.
d. Inside a backpack that is fully zipped closed.
