First steps to using a bunsen burner:
Place on heat proof mat, connect gas hose to a gas tap and make sure the air hole is closed
Place on heat proof mat, connect gas hose to a gas tap and make sure the air hole is open
Place on heat proof mat, connect gas hose to a gas tap and light the bunsen burner
Place on the bench, connect gas hose to a gas tap and make sure the air hole is open
A mixture of __________ and __________ burn at the top of the barrel to produce a flame

Which of the following part of Bunsen burner is used to support the burner so that it will not fall over.
air hole
barrel
collar
base
Which of the following is the correct procedure to light up a Bunsen burner?
Step 1: turn the collar and close the air hole
Step 2: turn on the gas tap
Step 3: use the lighter to light up the Bunsen burner
Step 1: turn the collar and open the air hole
Step 2: turn on the gas tap
Step 3: use the lighter to light up the Bunsen burner
Step 1: turn on the gas tap
Step 2: turn the collar and close the air hole
Step 3: use the lighter to light up the Bunsen burner
The natural gas can only mix with air at the mouth of the chimney and as a result an incomplete combustion occurs, this happens:
when the air hole is half closed.
when the air hole is fully opened.
when the air hole is fully closed.
The air is drawn into the chimney, where it mixes with the natural gas and it ensures complete combustion, this happens:
when the air hole is fully closed.
when the air hole is fully opened.
when the air hole is half opened.
During an experiment, a bunsen burner is placed on:
Gauze mat
The laboratory bench
A heatproof mat
Tripod
Your bunsen burner with a safety flame is knocked over, what do you do?
Place it back on the heatproof mat, it is only on safety flame so this is safe to do.
Turn off the gas at the gas tap, pick up the bunsen burner by the barrel and place it back on the mat
Turn off the gas at the gas tap, then let your teacher know
Panic, don't do anything because you're a bit scared you'll get into trouble

When lighting a bunsen burner, the
collar must be open, opening the air holes
collar must be shut, closing the air holes
collar must be half open, slightly opening the air holes
it doesn't matter what position the collar is in
You are trying to turn off a bunsen burner but it won't turn off. What do you do?
Leave it unattended on safety flame
Let your teacher know immediately
Hit the Emergency Stop valve that shuts off the gas before anyone gets hurt
Remove the hose from the gas tap as this will turn off the bunsen burner
When heating a test tube over a bunsen burner, it should be
held pointing straight up to ensure it heats up evenly and not moving it around
held at an angle toward you so you can see in, moving it around slightly to ensure it doesn't overheat
held at an angle away from you as that is safer, moving it around slightly to ensure it doesn't boil over
held at an angle away from you as that is safer, and not moving
You have finished mixing some chemicals for a practical, what should be done with them?
flushed down the sink
all poured in together into a large conical flask for easier
Ask your teacher, they will need to be disposed of safely
left on the bench for someone else to clean up for you
(Select all the right answers).
The lab can be a busy and noisy place with lots of people. You should always:
Be mindful of others around you
Adhere to the safety rules
Use your inside voice, no yelling
Be patient when sharing equipment. Too many scientists spoils the experiment!
When finished with an experiment,
you and your lab partner are to clean up all used materials and put equipment back where it belongs
leave everything out, its not your job to clean up
put away half of your equipment, some is better than none right?
Let your lab partner do all the cleaning up by themselves, they can handle it
