Question

If you are heating something, you can step away for a moment, as long as you come back very quickly.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer: b. False

Step-by-step explanation:

The more energetic molecules move to a gas, spread out, and form bubbles when heating happens. When exposed to heat, many of the chemicals used in the laboratory are volatile and harmful (fire).

So leaving a material that you heat for even a second can be very hazardous and negligent.
