Subject: Questions out of my realm
All,
I got the following two questions from a colleague and since I work in the
art field, these are out of my area. Can I get some help?
1. a student was boiling ether in a large open flask on a stirrer hotplate
and the fume alone caught on fire, inside the hood. . Do you have suggestions
for them to reduce the ether amount for re-crystallization in a safer manner?
2. a student in was quenching butyl lithium with n-propanol in an open flask
and it also caught on fire. Is there a safer way to quench the butyl lithium
w;ithout catching on fire?
