Acetic Acid is an important chemical found in chemical laboratories. Here are the precautions you must take when handling the acid to study its properties:
1. Never inhale the vapor of the acid directly. Waft the odor instead. This is done by holding the acid away from you, cupping your hands above the test-tube and gently directing the odor towards your face. This prevents damage to internal organs by the acid vapors.
2. Do not touch the acid since it is very corrosive and could burn your skin, especially when concentrated.
