Chemical Safety and Observation Experiment in Fume Hood

  • Investigation number 46 involves intentionally making errors for reporting purposes, emphasizing safety in a fume hood for organic chemistry experiments.
  • Test tubes labeled XA for cyclohexane and XT for toluene are prepared with 1 milliliter of each using a pipette to prevent cross-contamination.
  • A potassium permanganate mixture with sulfuric acid is created, with 4 milliliters of potassium permanganate and 2 milliliters of hydrochloric acid added.
  • One milliliter of the potassium permanganate mixture is added to each test tube, observing any changes in the top layer after gently shaking.
  • Part two involves repeating the process with bromine water, adding 1 milliliter to each test tube and observing any color changes after gentle shaking, allowing the mixtures to settle for five minutes before recording observations.
