Never put your face directly over the test tube. Use your hand to fan the air above the test tube toward you and smell that way.

Johnny needs to heat a test tube with chemicalswhat do you suggest that he should do to perform the experimant safely?

When heating test tubes safely in the laboratory:Never leave the test tube stationary in the flame. Move the test tube constantly in and out of the flame.Never point the opening of the test tube towards your face or body; towards a walk way where somebody may walk past; or towards any other person or work station.Point the opening of the test tube along an unoccupied bench area or wall or dead space where nobody walks.You will feel the contents of the test tube heating because the test tube will start to vibrate as the contents heat - take extra care.The bigger the test tube the safer it is. Larger test tubes will be less likely to spray their hot contents out than smaller test tubes.Always wear safety goggles when heating a test tube.Take your time, don't be in a hurry. Carefully wave the test tube in and out of the flame and you will have safe heating of its contents.
