Distill

A short video to show you the setup for the organic practical technique known as "heat and distill". The quickfit parts are named and the setup discussed. This is one in a series of short videos looking at the main organic practical techniques: heat & distill; reflux distillation; washing and drying in solvent extraction; recrystallisation and melting point determination; and others

A short video to show you the setup for the organic practical technique known as "heat and distill". Here a 2-necked flask is used to allow one of the reagents to be added slowly (or in stages) after the apparatus has been assembled. The quick-fit parts are named and the setup discussed. This is one in a series of short videos looking at the main organic practical techniques: heat & distill; reflux distillation; washing and drying in solvent extraction; recrystallisation and melting point determination; and others
