  Please pay close attention now because we are working with dangerous substances. Look at the equipment in front of you. There are two beakers labeled acid and base. Our assignment is to find out how much acid it will take to neutralize the base in the beaker. Of course you will use pH-testing paper to monitor the mixture until it reaches 7.0. Since either the acid or base can burn your skin or cause serious eye injury, you must first put on your protective equipment, first the goggles, and then your rubber gloves. Remember to use the pipette to add acid into the beaker containing the base. Never pour one into the other.  因為我們操作的是具危險性的物質，所以現在請大家特別小心。看看你前面的設備。有兩個燒杯，上面分別標示著酸和鹼。我們的任務就是要找出需要多少酸才能中和在燒杯內的鹼。當然，你會用酸鹼測試紙來檢測該混合物的pH值是否達到7.0。因為不論是酸或鹼都可能灼傷你的皮膚或造成眼睛嚴重受傷，所以你一定要先穿戴防護裝備，最先是護目鏡，再來則是橡膠手套。記得使用吸量管將酸液加到裝有鹼液的燒杯內。絕對不可以直接把一個燒杯裡的東西倒入另一個燒杯裡。
