23. Caution: The water is heated well above its boiling point so all necessary precautions should be taken when performing such experiments. Vessels designed to withhold elevated pressrues must be used. The microwave apparatus used here incorporates a protective metal cage around the microwave vessel in case of explosion. After completion of an experiment, the vessel must be allowed to cool to a temperature below the boiling point before removal from the microwave cavity and opening to the atmosphere.
