You can practice conservation with a cracked test tube by carefully transferring the contents to a new test tube to minimize any spills or leaks. Make sure to properly dispose of the cracked test tube following proper laboratory waste disposal protocols to avoid any contamination or harm to the environment.
Test tube
A test tube holder is considered a lever simple machine. It allows the user to grasp and hold a test tube securely with minimal effort by applying a force at one end to lift or manipulate the test tube at the other end.
The air molecules inside the test tube have a higher mobility when heated (they move around more). The collisions between these air molecules create more pressure on the inside of the test tube (force/area, where the force is the result of the increasing collisons and the area is the internal wall of the test tube.) This may result in the pressure inside of the test tube to be greater than the outside atmospheric pressure on the cork (actually atmospheric pressure on the cork and the frictional force on the cork created by the mouth of the test tube). If the internal pressure becomes greater than the external pressure (plus frictional force) the cork will come loose of the test tube.
As the temperature in the test tube increases, the air inside the test tube expands, leading to a decrease in pressure. This decrease in pressure causes the water plug in the glass tubing to move upward as it seeks to equalize the pressure inside and outside the test tube.
As the inverted test tube is inserted into the measuring cylinder containing water, the water will rise up into the test tube due to atmospheric pressure. The level of water inside the test tube will stabilize at a certain height once the pressure inside and outside are balanced. This can be used to measure the volume of the test tube.
Dispose of the cracked test tube properly by placing it in a designated sharps container or a strong plastic bag labeled for disposal. Do not use the cracked test tube for any experiments to prevent accidents or spills. If any hazardous materials were in the test tube, follow the appropriate protocols for clean-up and disposal.
Pointing a test tube towards anyone is not recommended because if the contents of the test tube were to be accidentally released, it could potentially harm the individual. It is always best practice to handle test tubes with care and keep them pointing away from yourself and others to prevent any accidents.

A test tube holder, also known as test tube clamp or test tube rack, is used to hold a test tube in place when the tube is hot or should not be touched. It allows safe handling of test tubes during heating or when conducting chemical reactions.
A test tube (or sample tube) has no errors.

A test tube can be held upright using a test tube rack, a test tube holder, or a clamp attached to a stand. These tools provide stability and prevent the test tube from tipping over during experiments.
It is not recommended to place a hot test tube directly into a test tube rack as this can cause damage to both the test tube and the rack. It is advised to allow the test tube to cool down before placing it in the rack to prevent any accidents or mishaps.
