When working with a Bunsen burner what precautions should be taken with respect to your clothing and hair?

Explanation:

Place the Bunsen burner away from any overhead shelving, equipment or light fixtures by at least 12 inches.

Tie-back any long hair, dangling jewelry, or loose clothing.

Your personal appearance before you even light the flame is a key safety consideration. Anything that is loose or dangling can potentially come into contact with the flame. Wear clothing that fits snugly to reduce the chances of the material catching fire. Participants with long hair should secure it away from the face so it doesn't fall down into the flame. Remove any long jewelry that might reach the flame. Wear goggles when using the flame, especially if you're heating a glass container or using chemicals.

a:

by the combination of an unlimited number of elements

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
