Warning: Ether is extremely flammable. This must only be carried out in an extremely well ventilated area. In this video we make diethyl ether from ethanol and sulfuric acid. I adapted by procedure from YouTube user myst32YT. Here is a link to his ether synthesis video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytdO3YzXNkQ I also used this as a resource: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=9747 The final product likely still has a little bit of a water in it. I would suggest adding more drying agent or molecular sieves if you need it to be anhydrous. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Merch - https://nilered.tv/store ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ■ NileRed is now available on Nebula! https://go.nebula.tv/nilered Join the community: Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/nilered Discord - https://discord.com/invite/3BT6UHf NileRed Newsletter - https://nile.red/home#newsletter You can also find me here: Facebook - https://m.facebook.com/NileRed2 Instagram - https://m.instagram.com/nile.red Twitter - https://mobile.twitter.com/NileRed2 Nile talks about lab safety: https://youtu.be/ftACSEJ6DZA
