If it is on your clothing as well, remove that article of clothing. Then, go to your instructor and report the situation, However if you are by yourself(which you shouldn't be while performing an experiment), immediately call 911. DO NOT put ice on the burn or try to wash it off because you do not know how the chemical will react with either of them...
