7. Disposal

• Insert the plate electrodes into the slots of

the flat trough.

• Fill in the appropriate aqueous solution.

• Connect the multimeter to measure currents

and voltages.

• All equipment and electrodes should be

cleaned and dried as thoroughly as possible
after experiments are completed.

• Those chemicals that have been used,

which cannot be recycled for further use
and need to be destroyed, should be stored
in special containers and disposed of in an
appropriate manner.

6. Notes on performing experiments

The teacher is responsible in all aspects for
ensuring that pupils conduct the experiments in
an orderly and proper fashion.

The teacher must become thoroughly familiar
with the experimental procedure and the han­dling of the appropriate equipment before the
experiment is performed. Students should be
warned of possible dangers and be advised on
the prevention of accidents.
All chemistry teachers should be informed con­cerning all aspects of safety regulations, acci­dent avoidance and prevention and are obliged
to abide by these.
Safety regulations and regulations for the han­dling of chemicals are specified in the laws
concerning chemicals, hazardous materials and
in the technical regulations for hazardous mate­rials. Further byelaws and guidelines for local
regions are legally binding upon the school.

• The packaging should

be disposed of at local
recycling points.

• Should you need to

dispose of the equip­ment itself, never throw
it away in normal do­mestic waste. Local
regulations for the dis­posal of electrical
equipment will apply.
