5. Experimental Procedure, Parts C.1 and E.3. Extreme caution must be observed when hearing a solution in a test tube.
-a. What criterion indicates that you are heating the solution in the test tube with a 'cool flame?'

footnote 2, pg. 76

Not hot enough to be felt by hand when holding tube w/ clamp

10

5. Experimental Procedure, Parts C.1 and E.3. Extreme caution must be observed when hearing a solution in a test tube.
-b. At what angle should the test tube be help while moving the test tube circularly in and out of the cool flame?

45 degrees

11

5. Experimental Procedure, Parts C.1 and E.3. Extreme caution must be observed when hearing a solution in a test tube.
-c. What is the consequence of not using this technique properly?

"Contents maybe ejected violently if not heated correctly."

12

6. a. What function does the centrifuge perform?

It spines and shakes the test tube at an extremely high speed to separate it's contents.

13

6.b. Describe the technique for balancing a centrifuge when centrifuging a sample.

Put each tube at the opposite angle. Like setting plates at a table, try to make sure the able between each is the same.
