Yes, it is technically possible to conduct this expirement without a fume hood, although it is HIGHLY recommended that it not be, and it would be very dangerous and foolhardy. There are many inherent risks that could potentially manifest througout your lab expirement with sulfanilamide, including running the risk of recieving chemical burns from the chlorosulfonic acid (HSO3Cl) and inhaling any type of fume that is produced. The best route here would be to either locate a university or lab that has one that can be used, or contact other organizations or research facilities that would be more than willing to let you use their fume hoods (given the circumstances). As a last resort you might have to just explain to your professor that you do not have the proper materials/setup to perform this expirement safetly, which should always be your number one concern.
