Question

question 19 (5 points)
which of the following is not part of the proper protocol for using acids and bases?
a) treat acids and bases with extreme caution
b) storing acids and bases in separate areas
c) storing acids and bases below 10°c
d) wearing protective clothing while handling

Explanation:

• Option A: Acids and bases are corrosive, so extreme caution is proper.
• Option B: Acids and bases can react with each other, so separate storage is proper.
• Option C: There's no standard protocol mandating storage below \(10^\circ\text{C}\) for all acids and bases; most are stored at room temperature (if stable), so this is not a proper protocol.
• Option D: Protective clothing (like gloves, goggles) is necessary for handling, so this is proper.

Answer:

C) Storing acids and bases below \(10^\circ\text{C}\)
