For slow heating with the maximum control, test tubes are heated in a water bath rather than in a flame. This can only heat the tube to the boiling point of water, 100°C or 212 °F.

There are any number of things. You could use a heat lamp, a steam bath, a hot-water bath, a Bunsen burner, an electric heating mantle...

You boil some water and put the test tube in and its heated up but you don't have to worry about a flame. To heat a test tube you simply use a Bunsen burner. Make sure you use pliers to hold it with though because it will get very hot. Also you can change the heat of the Bunsen burner by switching it to the blue flame. you always hold it away from you and your lab partner. heat it sideways and slowly run it through the flame to distribute the heat evenly.

What happens to iron placed in a test tube with a stopper?

Iron and oxygen in a test tube alone will not react (observed by placing a piece of iron in a test tube with a stopper).Iron and water in a test tube alone will not react (observed by completely submerging a piece of iron in water in a test tube with a stopper).Iron, water and oxygen in a test tube will react (observed by placing a piece of iron in a test tube and submerging half of it with water). The following reaction will take place: iron + water + oxygen ----> hydrated iron(III) oxide. Hydrated iron(III) oxide is the chemical name for rust, which will appear as orange flaking on the piece of iron. To speed up this reaction you can use a bit of salt as a catalyst.


Why an empty test tube placed in water in a beaker with mouth outside the water surface shines like a mirror when seen at certain angle?

the test tube has air inside it.In the outer surface of the test tube is water.Due to the different media across the test tube surface the reflection of light occurs through the glass surface.Hence the test tube shines(behaves)like a mirror
