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.
No, burning plastic bottles is not safe or effective. When burned, plastic releases toxic fumes and chemicals that can harm the environment and human health. It is best to recycle plastic bottles instead of burning them.
PET plastic bottles are generally considered safe for single use and do not leach harmful chemicals into the contents when used as intended. However, reusing these bottles or exposing them to heat can increase the risk of chemicals such as antimony leaching into the liquid. It is recommended to avoid reusing PET bottles and opt for other types of containers for long-term use.
Bottles of chemicals are kept tightly closed to prevent the escape of harmful vapors into the environment and to minimize the risk of spills or accidents. Opening the bottle only when needed helps to control exposure to potentially hazardous chemicals and maintain the quality and stability of the chemicals inside.
Both aluminum and stainless steel water bottles are safe options for storing water. Stainless steel bottles are generally more durable and less likely to leach chemicals into the water compared to aluminum bottles. However, aluminum bottles are lightweight and can be recycled more easily. Ultimately, the safety of the water bottle depends on the quality of the materials used and proper maintenance.
Using a clean and dry spatula ensures that no contamination occurs between chemicals in the reagent bottles. It also helps to accurately measure the amount of solid chemical being transferred. Additionally, it minimizes the risk of a chemical reaction or undesired outcome due to impurities or moisture present on the spatula.
Yes, you can bring large bottles of shampoo on an airplane in your checked luggage, but they must comply with the airline's liquid restrictions for carry-on luggage.
Because there are really bad chemicals in plastic. Don't freeze water bottles or leave them out in the sun because the chemicals leak into the water that you consume.
Because glass is mostly inert, that is most chemicals don't attack it.

Dark bottles are used for chemicals sensitive to UV or some visible light.

You can bring as many 3 oz bottles as can fit in a quart-sized plastic bag in your carry-on luggage when flying.
Now that depends entirely on how big the bottles are.
Of course you do. There are even small bottles adapted for it. Of course you do. There are even small bottles adapted for it.
Nalgene lab bottles are mainly used to carry chemical liquids for laboratory/industrial use. For example, they can carry solvents, lab samples, and reagents.

You can bring as many 100ml bottles of liquid as can fit in a single quart-sized clear plastic bag in your carry-on luggage when flying.
