When heating chemicals that could be volatile, the best way to conduct this experiment is wearing goggles and a lab apron and having the experiment under the ventilation hood.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volatile compounds are excitable or flammable and can burn the skin. Utilized in a restricted space, they can produce asphyxiation. They should eternally be used in a well-ventilated area or hood, and apart from unspecified open flames. Flammables and combustibles must never be heated on a hot plate.

Volatile chemicals are ones that evaporate very easily. Work in your student hood especially when you are handling volatile chemicals. If you require to carry volatile chemicals into the lab, take them in a superimposed container.
