What is the best reason for a student to remove a dangling bracelet when heating test tubes of acidic solutions in a hot- water bath in a chemistry lab?
to avoid reactions of the metal with gases in the lab
to reduce the risk of burns from heat conducted through the metal
to minimize the chance the bracelet pulling over a test tube, causing a spill
to prevent misreading the temperature of the bath on a thermometer

I would say to Minimize the chance of the bracelet pulling over a test tube, causing a spill.

Explanation:

No one wants to get third degree burns, do they? Responsible teachers are always looking for the safety of their students, so they ask that they remove jewelry, and roll up their sleeves if using Bunsen Burners, or using Water-Baths.  

organisms are more likely to be more preserved in mud than sand because mud is moist and wet, while sand is very dry.
