they was doing an experiment in class

im not sure why rhey where pouring from a bottle to a test tube i remember using a pipette when i was at school many moons ago

she had goggles on and thats all and got told to take her jacket off while doing this 

there was no contact from school when this happened we only found out when she left school and rang us.

i understand that the small amount of acid might not effect some people but would you say all of this sounds dangerous and could of been alot worse

thanks for all the replies and answering my questions

Did your daughter scratch at the site of the splash?
Not a good idea as that would rub the acid in.

You didn't say if the teachers immediately washed tha acid off?
Or did someone just wipe it off and then leave it?

1M is not that strong for a near adult, but what was an 11 year old doing with it and what was the supervision?

By way of contrast car battery acid is 4M to 6 M and would definitely burn straight away.

Here is a  company Health and Safety document which regards 1M as "corrosive to skin"

hi everyone 

my names paul my daughter who is 11 has just started high school, she was im chemistry class last week and spilt some sulphuric acid on herself while pouring acid from bottle to a test tube.

i have been told it was 1 molar acid they used but after the incident she heard 2 teachers arguing about the strength of acid it should of been .5 and they used 1.5 strength.

she has a burn on her hand about the size of a 2p coin and is blistering.

they had no gloves on only goggles 

what ppe would you need in a lab at school is 1 molar dangerous

sorry for all the questions just want to know some more info as school not helpfull and google doesnt bring anuthing up

thanks for looking 

Paul
