To heat a substance, you would need a few tools including asbestos gauze, ring stand, ring clamps, bunsen burner, and a beaker. Asbestos gauze is used as a heat-resistant mat to provide a stable surface for heating. A ring stand is a support structure that holds the equipment in place. Ring clamps are attached to the ring stand and hold the beaker or other containers securely. A bunsen burner is a gas burner used for heating. Lastly, a beaker is a container used to hold the substance being heated.
