Respuesta :

The missing group of choices is as follows:

A. disassemble the equipment.

B. wash their hands.

C. record their observations.

D. clean the lab tables.

Answer:

The correct answer is - B. washing their hands.

Explanation:

Neutralization of an acid involves the reaction of the acid with a strong or week base ( on the basis of acid strength) which leads to the production of salt and water in aqueous solution.

Washing hand acid could be more dangerous as the acid reacts violently with water, however, after the neutralization of acid, there should be normal safety measures which are before leaving the lab one should wash their hand as chemicals used might be toxic or cause harmful effect to an individual.

Thus, the correct answer is - B. washing their hands.
