Why is direct heating of liquid substances in a test tube over the flame prohibited?

Provided that you use the wider kind of tube known as a boiling tube, this is not so. Of course it is dangerous to heat liquids in a narrow tube, as this can cause rapid boiling and the shooting of the liquid out of the tube.


In heating liquids in a test tube why is the test tube move back and forth across the flame?

You should only heat liquids in the wider kind of test tube known as a boiling tube. Using an ordinary test tube often results in rapid local boiling and consequent shooting out of the liquid, which is known as 'bumping'. That said, many people prefer to move the tube around in the flame at first to prevent uneven heating of the contents, and to produce smoother boiling. There is a very small chance that concentrated heating may put stress on a weak spot in the glass and cause it to break.
