Heating liquid in a test tube

1. Fill the test tube with not more than ¾ of liquid.
2. Hold test tube with test tube holder
3. Incline test tube at about 45 0 angle with the flame
4. Subject the flame at the middle of the test tube near the top of the liquid
5. Move the test tube back and forth
6. When the liquid starts to boil, remove the test
tube from the flame
