Question

Write yes if the proper safety procedures are being followed and no if they are not. Then give a reason for your answer. Bubba cannot find matches to light his Bunsen burner. The student next to him picks up a lighted burner and says, "Here, you can use my flame to light your burner."

Answer 1

No, in this case the proper safety procedures are not being followed. The lighted burner of the student next to Bubba is already hot since it was already lighting moments ago, if Bubba touches the burner to light up his own burner, then there is a chance that Bubba’s hand will be burned.

Answer 2

No. The proper safety procedure is not being enforced in this scenario. First of all, Bubba should already know the teacher's lecture on the correct and safe way to light the Bunsen burners in his/her class.
