Specifications
- Disposal Method:This disposal method is published for your convenience. You MUST have checked with your federal, state, and local regulations before using this method and these methods are only applicable for small laboratory sized quantities.
Use a lab apron, chemical resistant gloves and goggles before following the below method to dispose of hazardous waste.
1. Prepare an ice/water bath in a large beaker and place it in a fume hood.
2. Slowly add the chemical to the ice/water bath and stir.
a. A vigorous reaction will occur. Add the chemical slowly to keep the reaction under control.
3. Once all the chemical has been added, allow the reaction mixture to cool. The solution will be acidic, so use dilute sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate to neutralize it to about a pH of 7.
4. A precipitate will have formed, and the liquid will need to be decanted and poured down the drain with at least a 20-fold excess of water. The precipitate can be disposed of in the trash. - Solution Preparation:To prepare a solution, determine the formula weight of the material, the concentration (Molarity) of the solution, and the amount of solution desired in Liters. Once this information has been obtained, use the following formula:
(Formula Weight) x (Concentration) x (Desired Volume) = Number of grams in desired volume of liquid
For a 1 M, 1 L solution:
(Formula Weight) x (1 mol/L) x (1 L) = x g added to 1-L volumetric flask. Dilute to a final volume of 1 L with DI Water.
