Question

1. why is it advisable to use tongs when taking a beaker off a laboratory burner? a. it prevents spilling. b. it prevents the beaker from breaking. c. it looks cool. d. it allows you to move it if it is too hot.

Explanation:

Beakers heated on a laboratory burner can get very hot. Tongs are used to safely handle hot objects and move them. Spilling is not the main reason, and it has nothing to do with looking cool. Using tongs doesn't prevent the beaker from breaking in a direct way. The main advantage is being able to move a hot beaker.

Answer:

D. It allows you to move it if it is too hot.
