The second option is correct: tell the teacher and rinse your hand in the sink.
Why and what to do:
- Alert the teacher or supervisor immediately — they need to know and will direct cleanup and any medical response.
- Rinse the affected skin under running water right away (generally at least 15 minutes) and remove contaminated clothing or jewelry. Use soap if available.
- If you develop pain, burns, numbness, or other symptoms, get medical attention.
- Do NOT try to clean the spill yourself with paper towels or by wiping it up — unknown chemicals can spread, react, or contaminate trash. The teacher will use the appropriate spill kit and procedures (or call the lab safety officer).
