Why is it important to a dry and clean spatula in scooping solid chemicals from reagent bottle?

This standard procedure -dry and clean spatula in scooping solid chemicals from reagent bottle- should prevent contamination of - and exposure to dirt and humidity to - the other chemical reagents.

What is the function of a reagent bottle in laboratory apparatus?

Reagent bottles are containers made of glass or plastic, and are closed by special caps or stoppers, and are intended to contain chemicals in liquid or powder form for laboratories and stored in cabinets or on shelves.


Using dark-colored reagent bottles in storing some chemicals?

This amber/brown color is one of many pigments that are used to prevent ultraviolet (UV) light from penetrating the chemical reagent's bottle and damaging a photosensitive chemical. While there are some molecules that are affected (often very little) by the visible spectrum of colored light, UV-light is the primary range of the electromagnetic spectrum that can catalyze unwanted reactions in bottles which effectively degrades the reagent.


How do you carry chemicals in big bottles?

By "big", I assume you mean something on the order of 1 gallon or 4 liter. It is recommended that if you must carry chemicals stored in big bottles that you use a carrier designed for that purpose that has a handle, holds the bottle securely, is resistant to breakage (think metal or thick plastic) and that can contain the liquid if the carrier is banged into something or dropped with enough force to somehow break the bottle inside. Most of the major suppliers of bottled chemicals sell carriers designed for this purpose. They may just look like a bucket or may have a lid that snaps over the top. Some of the carrier lids have a hole that the neck of the bottle can poke through.
