Chemical and physical hazards are associated with this demo. Therefore, I will suggest using a cotton lab coat and leather gloves for the same.

Good luck,

I think that test tube tongs should be being used.

Hi all--I'd appreciate any thoughts on someone wearing just eye protection for this demo. On the one hand, it's a small amount and the test tubes don't have constricted necks. On the other hand, it looks like a glass tube held in bare hands near the face.

It's been suggested as something to post in C&EN's "Chemistry in Pictures" collection for New Year's Eve, and I need to decide by tomorrow (Wednesday 12/30) whether to go ahead.

 

Thanks for your input!
