WorksheetsChemistry Lab Basics – Assessment Questions
Total questions: 58
Worksheet time: 29mins
Which PPE protects clothes from chemical spills?
Gloves
Goggles
Lab coat
Shoes
Nitrile gloves are preferred in general chemistry labs because they:
Are cheaper than latex
Offer broad chemical resistance
Are decorative
Absorb spills
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are written by:
Teachers
Students
Manufacturers or suppliers
Government inspectors
SDS provides more detailed hazard information than:
Labels
Textbooks
Experiments
Posters
When diluting acid, you should always:
Add water to acid
Add acid to water
Mix randomly
Heat both before mixing
Which equipment should you use with volatile chemicals?
Test tube rack
Fume hood
Bunsen burner
Crucible

Tied back
Covered with gloves
Left loose
Washed frequently
Acids should be stored:
With bases
In flammable cabinets
In corrosion-resistant cabinets
With oxidizers
Flammables should be kept away from:
Bases
Oxidizers and heat sources
Acids
Water
Oxidizers like KMnO4 should be stored:
With reducing agents
Separately from flammables
Next to solvents
In plastic bags
Compressed gas cylinders must be:
Stored horizontally
Secured upright
Left uncapped
Mixed with liquids
Safety Data Sheets are an important resource for:
Entertainment
Artwork
Workers and workplaces
Qualitative data refers to:
Numbers only
Descriptions and observations
Calculated averages
Exact figures
Quantitative data examples include:
Color change
Temperature = 25°C
Gas bubbles formed
Odor description
Data should be recorded:
From memory
During the experiment
After class
On scrap paper
Precision refers to:
Correctness
Repeatability
Randomness
Luck
A measurement can be precise but not:
Accurate
Quantitative
The uncertain digit in a measurement is the:
First digit
Middle digit
Last digit
Last digit
When reading a liquid's volume, measure at the:
Top of the meniscus
Bottom of the meniscus
Side of the beaker
Top of the container
Graphs help us:
Hide mistakes
Visualize variable relationships
Decorate reports
Replace lab notes
The x-axis represents the:
Dependent variable
Independent variable
Title
Average
The y-axis represents the:
Control variable
Independent variable
Dependent variable
Scale
The graph's title should:
Be decorative
Explain what the graph shows
Include your name only
Be optional
To show overall data trends, use a:
Zig-zag line
Best-fit line
Bar only
Table
Storing chemicals safely includes:
Mixing all together
Labeling all containers
Keeping lids open
Ignoring dates
SDS contains information about:
Experiments
Hazards and precautions
Class attendance
Lab furniture
Percent error and uncertainty are part of:
Data handling and analysis
Chemical reactions
Energy changes
Waste disposal
