    thanks for the video :)
    just a note: 62 ml * 0.876 gr/ml = 54.3 gr of benzene = 0.78 mol = 78% yield = noice.

    Nice video. Excited to see you gaining more subs recently! I like that you mentioned how long it took, my distillations seem to take too long, I'm probably being too gentle with the heating. Looks like a very pretty area you live in

    • @MrKevb1540
      @MrKevb1540 11 місяців тому

      Are you measuring the temperature at the top of the condenser? Why I ask is for example if you wanted to simple distill water, you will need >100c at condenser. I know it's steams at 100c, but it also recondenses before making it into the condenser. The water al a liquid may only reach 100c, but you vapor (pure H2O steam) can be much hotter.
      You probably aren't distilling water... so just make sure not to get the liquid so hot that the product you want doesn't degrade the product, lowering your yield.

    Try to make it from sodium teraftalate from PET bottles!
    teraftalic acid is insoluble un water, so after a basic hidrolysis you can acidify the medium to precipitate the teraftalic acid and filter it to get rid of the ethylene glycol

    • @THYZOID

    • @JustinKoenigSilica
      @JustinKoenigSilica 3 роки тому +2

      There's no Sodium Terephthalate in PET bottles, instead it's the polymer - it says in the name - Polyethylene TEREPHTHALATE. terephthalate tells you that it is in fact an ester. As it is a polyester, it can be hydrolized with NaOH into sodium Terephthalate.

      Food grade usually means it's very pure, as you don't want contamination in what you eat, unlike in technical grade stuff. So it will work perfectly.

      Der größte Teil wird durch Destillation als universal Lösemittel zum Geräte reinigen recycelt. Der Rest wird verbrannt. Weil der Abfall vollkommen halogenfrei ist wird nur Wasser und CO2 entstehen. Aufgrund des großen Anteils an Ethanol und Aceton wird beim Verbrennen nicht einmal Ruß freigesetzt.

    • @chemicalmaster3267
      @chemicalmaster3267 3 роки тому +2

      @@THYZOID Alright then. The idea is to dissolve the stainless steel in hydrochloric acid to make chromium(III) chloride, iron(II) chloride and nickel(II) chloride; react them with sodium carbonate (or bicarbonate) to precipitate chromium(III) hydroxide, iron(II) carbonate and basic nickel(II) carbonate; filter the solution and wash the precipitate mixture; treat the precipitate with potassium hydroxide (or sodium hydroxide or aqueous ammonia) and hydrogen peroxide to convert the chromium(III) hydroxide into potassium (or sodium or ammonium) chromate; filter the yellow solution and wash the precipitate until the filtrate is colorless; and finally boil and concentrate the solution to get yellow crystals of potassium (or sodium) chromate.
      If you go with ammonium chromate you can´t get crystals without adding aqueous ammonia from time to time, because ammonium chromate in solution decomposes when heated into ammonium dichromate and releasing ammonia gas.
      If you want to make some potassium (or sodium or ammonium) dichromate just add some acetic acid until the solution is an orange-red color and evaporate some of the water to get orange-red crystals of potassium (or sodium or ammonium) dichromate.
      If you go with ammonium dichromate you can also just boil the ammonium chromate solution like i mentioned before, but you will have to deal with the ammonia gas that it´s gonna be released.

      @Dominik e 😂😂😂 indeed it is. In fact it would be better to just get benzene directly from aldrich Sigma or something with this grignard method you would end up using more costly resources than the price of the final yield of benzene
