How to make benzene
In this video I will be synthesizing benzene from sodium benzoate and sodium hydroxide. This procedure was taken from the ScienceMadness forum: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/vi... The ratios of reactants used and the method of using the can was suggested by Organikum. I forgot to mention in the video, but if you use glass, it does not conduct well and depending on how much you use, the glass can crack when cooling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Merch - https://nilered.tv/store ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join the community: Patreon - / nilered Discord - / discord NileRed Newsletter - https://nile.red/home#newsletter You can also find me here: Facebook - / nilered2 Instagram - / nile.red Twitter - / nilered2 Nile talks about lab safety: • Chemistry is dangerous.
