<p><font face="serif">Students - this weeks lab uses some chemicals
that are very corrosive and the NO2 gas acidifies in contact
with water. For that reason you will all need to wear gloves
during the lab and will need to remove any hand jewelry before
donning gloves and starting the experiment.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">Anyone that is not properly attired will be
asked to leave lab immediately. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">The worst chemical burns I have seen in Gen
Chem lab occurred in the gaseous equilibrium lab. I really
don't want to have to call an ambulance to take you to the
hospital.</font></p>
<p>We will spend some of our classtime on Monday discussing the lab
-- but I am giving those of you in group A a head's up so you will
know what you need to wear on Monday afternoon.</p>
