question 6
Answer is e
place the container in the hood and allow ether to evaporate and test for the presence of peroxides
Reason
placing the container in the hood is safety to handle chemical
ether vapour catches fire in open when exposed to fire and also not good to health after exposing vapours
testing hood for the peroxides will be the good option as ethers stored for longer times may lead to peroxides
so better to test for its presence....
