While setting up a beaker to boil a solution on a hot plate, you notice that the stirring is erratic and unstable. What should you do to stabilize the stirring solution? a. Clamp the beaker in place at the edge of the hot plate. b. Move the beaker to the center of the hot plate. c. Turn down the stirring speed. d. Completely turn off the stirring function.

B. Move the beaker to the center of the hot plate

Explanation:

The erratic and unstable stirring might be caused by the beaker not being properly balanced on the hot place, there by distorting the the center of gravity of the stirring motion.

In properly positioning the stirrer to the hot plate, the magnetic rod is positioned to the center of the fluid, allowing for a more fluid and even effective stirring.

I hope this was helpful.
