When heating solution in a boiling tube, what precaution must you take?

• Heat the solution too strongly

• Hold the boiling tube vertically

• Never use a Pyrex boiling tube to heat the solution

• Never direct the mouth of the boiling tube at your classmates

An experiment should be carried out in the fume cupboard if it involves

• The release of poisonous gas.

• The release of flammable gas.

• The use of corrosive chemicals.

• The use of oxidising chemicals.
