who should be notified next?
other students in the lab
the police department
lab stockroom personnel
the fire department

Explanation:

When an acid is spilled in a lab, after notifying the teacher, other students in the lab should be notified next. This is to ensure their safety as they are in the immediate vicinity and need to be aware of the hazard to avoid any accidental contact with the spilled acid. The police department and fire department are usually not the next - level notifications for a routine lab acid spill (unless it's a major, out - of - control chemical emergency which is not indicated here). Lab stockroom personnel might be involved in restocking supplies but not the immediate notification for safety of people in the lab.

Answer:

other students in the lab
