Can this experiment be done?

As mentioned in the literature, 18.2 mmol of sodium fluoroborate and 46.1 mmol of sodium azide are accurately weighed and placed into a 20 mL stainless steel reactor, which is then tightly sealed and placed inside an electronic reactor. The control program then raised the temperature in the reactor from room temperature to 450°C at a rate of 10°C/min, and maintained it at this temperature for 20 hours. After the reaction is complete, the reaction reactor is allowed to cool naturally to room temperature, after which the reaction vessel is removed to collect the white crude product. It is washed several times successively with distilled water and anhydrous ethanol to remove by-products, filtered under vacuum, and finally the resulting sample is placed in a vacuum oven and dried at 60°C for several hours.
20 milliliters. There are many reactors of this type; the temperature is 450 degrees, which is quite high
Do not conduct such experiments; it’s extremely dangerous and could lead to an explosion. With the reactor reaching such high temperatures, the risks are far too great
There are risks; the feasibility must be carefully assessed.
What is a chemical reaction? Is it endothermic or exothermic? Does the number of molecules increase or decrease after the reaction? What is the expected maximum pressure? Choose a high-pressure reactor with pressure regulation, and keep people away during periods when explosion is likely. If toxic gases are generated, emergency ventilation facilities are also required
