Why do you think it is a bad idea to use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical?

Chemistry

Answer:

Because it can cause health problems or injuries to our sense organs.

Explanation:

Chemicals in the laboratory are made up of different constituents, which may be dangerous or injurious to health. This is the reason why safety measures or precautions have to be taken when working in the laboratory. One of those safety measures is that "one should never use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical".

This is so because a chemical that is unknown amounts to the fact that what such chemical contains is unknown, hence, the chemical might have the ability to cause harm or injuries to the sense organ. For example, a conc. acid that is tasted will burn the tongue etc.

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?

a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA

d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells

Answer:

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

Explanation:

Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).

This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.

All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.
