Lastly, we got to witness and test the Law of Conservation of Mass through the reaction in this experiment. The list goes on, but these are just a few objectives from the recently conducted lab experiment. Background: Before this experiment we had knowledge on the safety of most of the materials we worked with. Copper (II) Sulfate is harmful by inhalation or ingestion. Iron (II) Sulfate is also harmful if ingested, and could cause death.
2.1 Outline current legislation and regulatory body standards which are relevant to the Prevention and control of infection.

Through public awareness and education of this process, many concerns and misbeliefs can be dispelled.
