Why is it necessary to slowly pour the **furan solution into the beaker already containing methanol while it is still hot?
**Furan is miscible with methanol, so there is no need to pour it while it’s hot! The text mentions a **furan solution**; it can be understood that THF is used as the solvent. What the solute is isn’t specified. If it’s a THF solution of something, it’s probably because the solute has low solubility in cold THF, and therefore it must be poured in while hot to prevent precipitation.
