Hi everybody, I'm doing a science experiment where I'm pouring 100% pure ethanol into a bottle, placing that plastic bottle into a pot,and placing the pot onto a stove, and raising the temperature to 30-40 degrees C. I'm not sure if this is safe, b/c the bottle says that pure ethanol should not even be exposed to sunlight for long amounts of time.
please consider your response carefully because this is a potentially dangerous experiment, and I am taking all responses seriously.

Hmmm......I agree, but I am taking precautions:
-hot plate (plastic, no fire/sparks/etc.)
-under a hood (ventilated)
-fire-hazard gloves (thick, does not catch fire)
-glassware
