Question

When heating a solution to boiling on a hot plate, start by ___________. Then, turn the heat to ___________to start. If necessary, __________after waiting about ten minutes without seeing boiling.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. starting and stabilizing the stir function

2. a medium heat

3.turn up the heat setting

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

Some of the laboratory apparatus (equipment) used for conducting a chemical reaction are conical flask, Bunsen burner, beaker, tongs, crucible, round bottom flask etc.

When heating a solution to boiling on a hot plate, start by starting and stabilizing the stir function. Then, turn the heat to a medium heat to start. If necessary, turn up the heat setting after waiting about ten minutes without seeing boiling.

The safety precautions that must be taken when heating a solution to boiling on a hot plate;

I. A proper inspection of the round bottom flask for cracks, irregularities or any imperfection.

II. Ensure you avoid heating the flask while it is closed.

III. When suspending the flask on a hot plate, you should ensure that you use a clamp for stability.
