Answer:
Boiling stones should never be added to a hot liquid because that would cause the liquid to boil very fiercely. Now that the distillation is already in progress, first you have to cool down the solution.
Explanation:
When you have forgotten to add boiling stones to your round bottomed distillation flask, but now the distillation is in progress. You should not add boiling stones to the hot liquid, because that can cause that hot liquid to boil fiercely. So, you have to cool down that liquid first and then add boiling stones.
But if you do not add boiling stones in this process, it produces hot spots, which causes splashing out. So, you have to cool down the solution/reaction and then reheat the solution after adding boiling stones.
