Step-by-step explanation:

The specially designed microwave units , for the synthesis , are often very expensive and at times get heated up .

The home microwave is suitable only in some case .

And , new modification done on the home microwave , increases the safety factor .

The chemical reactions which need to be done at very high pressure , are preferred to be carried in specially designed oven .

Hence ,

the home microwave is suitable only for some selected and specific reactions .
