Explanation / Answer

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....
