Answer:
1) Rick should be taking and gathering the gas with his hand towards his face gently to get just a whiff.
2) These students are doing the complete opposite of what should properly be done. Andrew shouldn't be drinking any chemicals that don't belong in his body. Sarah shouldn't be throwing whatever chemicals into a mixture, this can cause a lot of possible danger. Rick shouldn't be directly smelling the gas which can also be harmful. Rick needs to be wearing gloves and smell the gas in a proper way. Sarah should wear goggles and pay attention to what she is mixing. Andrew should be wearing gloves and goggles and shouldn't be drinking the chemical.
