Cycles. This is not the final stage of the steps of the scientific method, as it generates data and ideas to recycle into the first stage. The initial and wider research area can again be addressed, with this research one of the many individual pieces answering the whole question.
The reason behind this is because the cyclohexene is highly flammable, so as to remove any unnecessary risk we used a heating pad. We then created our cyclohexanol mixture of cylcohexanol (6mL), sulfuric acid (10 drops), phosphoric acid (8 mL), and a boiling cheap which we then used on our apparatus.
Phenol is highly corrosive to the skin and readily absorbed. through it, whereupon it can affect the central nervous system and cause. damage to the liver and kidneys. It is also a mutagen, and there is some. evidence that phenol may be a reproductive hazard. When heated, phenol will produce flammable vapors that are highly toxic. (at just a few parts per million) and explosive (at concentrations of 3% to 10%. in air).
