How to make benzene

From the creator

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/viewthread.php?tid=325 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 - 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
