The other students in the lab should be notified next in this type of scenario.
<h3>What is an acid?</h3>
This is a substance which donates protons and is very corrosive. It also turns blue litmus paper red.
When it was spilled and baking soda was used to neutralize it on the floor , it is best to inform the other students too so as to prevent them from being exposed by mistake thereby reducing risk of injury.

Explanation:
According to the law of the conservation of mass, 'mass is conserved in a chemical reaction. The mass cannot be created nor be destroyed in a chemical process'.
This law holds true for the burning of wood also. Although the wood burns to produce ash which weighs less than wood but also, it produces some soot and other gases and the sum of the masses of all these is equal to the sum of the masses of wood and oxygen that reacted with it.
To know the answer, compare the oxidation number of the element in the reactant and the product side. The oxidation number of Al was originally +3, then became 0 after the reaction. On the other hand, Fe was originally 0, then became +2 after the reaction. When the element is oxidized, it oxidation number increases. <em>Thus, the element oxidized is Fe.</em>
