Oh... uh oh. I said to reflux and user a condenser so the products and reactants aren't lost - these can be toxic and to perform it in a fume cupboard. do you think i'd still get the mark? how many marks was that question worth?I said use a hot plate or a heating mantle as alkanols and alkanoic acids are flammable, and are therefore dangerous to use with a bunsen burner.
or something like that
