Just a recommendation: The nozzle on the starting fluid can disperses the liquid in a way that encourages vaporization. You should remove the nozzle and stick the remaining nub into a thin, short, vinyl tube running into your flask and press the tube and nub sideways. this will cause nearly all of the liquid to run through the tube into the flask without being lost as vapor. This will also reduce the amount of volatile fumes exposed to you and your environment but obviously this should still be done in a well ventilated area.

Protip: John Deere branded starter fluid is very high in diethyl ether--80%, and fairly cheap.

If'n y'all like your heptane organically derived, harvest some Jackson Pine sap, and distill that. Some samples of sap are up to 70% heptane by weight. Folks hunting Ponderosa Pine sap for turpentine distillation were unfortunate enough to find the nearly identical Jackson Pine; the exploding stills were a clue something was amiss. Heptane from this tree is still used today in 'standard engines' that are used to determine fuel performance and octane levels. It is pretty trick getting pure heptane out of petroleum, while the sap-sourced heptane has no other hydrocarbons to remove. There is also a shrub in the Philippines that also sports heptane laden berries.

Nice! Looking forward to the Grignard reactions.

Another use for heptane is to treat the surfaces of many plastics to accept cyanoacrylate, or in other words, a superglue activator for plastics and other surfaces. Note: Superglue for plastic, even with an activator, isn't the best choice, but sometimes it is all you have.

Hey @NurdRage, how would one go about separating diethy ether from n-pentane? Fractional distillation isn't viable because n-pentane has a boiling point of 36.1°C. Ether is slightly soluble in water, so would an extraction and subsequent distillation be the best option? Best regards!

protip: turn the can upside down and spray it gets all the gas out then open the can with a punch or bottle opener. Pour out fluid.

I'm curious- wouldn't dehydrating ethanol w/ H2SO4 to make ether be a bit easier and less wasteful? Also, I would think you would want to use a fractionating column during distillation to help make sure other close boiling hydrocarbons don't come over, as well as some amount of water. I know ether is real low-boiling and it is likely unnecessary, but you really don't know exactly what the components are in the starter fluid, so I would do it just as a precautionary measure.

would it be a nice idea to make a video about fire saftey and what to avoid so you dont use the wrong type with the wrong chemicals and possibly making it worse.

Hell Mr or Mrs. NurdRage, I'm a huge fan of your content. I recently decided to take the big financial plunge and finally buy a distillation set. In the set I got a bunch of round bottom flasks, but I really like the looks of an Erlenmeyer flask and will probably be buying at least one as a boiling vessel or....receiving? flask. I was wondering, are there any benefits or drawbacks to using Erlenmeyers over round bottoms, or does it all come down to personal ascetic presences? Anyway thanks for all you do.

@intothevoid3962

This reminds me of Walter telling Jesse to use a boiling flask in breaking bad. A boiling / round bottom flask is much better suited for heating. Especially in this case. You can use a croc pot with water, oil or sand as a way to spread and contr heat. An Erlenmeyer flask does have graduations which can be handy. I mean you can do this work in a lot of vessels. Just be mindful of the strength heat sources. Practice distilling water first. Maybe steam distill some aromatic plants before moving along to the highly volitile stuff

In your opinion a 50 cm long Vigreaux column it's enough versatile for the fractional distillation of diethyl ether and ethanol? Can I use a shorter column? I can't use a bigger one because I can't fit the whole apparatus in my little lab xD I'm making diethyl ether from zero,for my essential oils production,because I got no access to those spray cans. I suggest you to add in the description a method for detect the presence of dangerous peroxides,usually I test the ether with a solution of acetic acid and potassium iodide,or a starch paper strip that has been threated with a potassium iodide solution and then dried up,if there are traces of peroxide,both the methods will warn you by forming a brown precipitate or a blue stain on the paper.

I have to wonder now if there is a suitable solvent for removing mineral oil from a PCB; it stands to reason that the epoxy resins will also dissolve using almost anything that dissolved the oil

a question for you about the brand choice of starting fluid you use ... does the can have on its label " with upper cylinder lubricant " ? a $3. can of Supertech starting-fluid from W-M does. yet the 'contains' list includes only ether, heptane and CO2. no mention of any lube. so , the question is : ' are they passing off the heptane as a lubricant ? " this question arises as i want to follow your guide and distill off some ether from a can of start-fluid ... and worry there is something oily in the mix that is this 'lubricant' stuff. and thus the ether may need further processing to clean it up. or that the heptane may be contaminated as well. thus unusable for an eluent w/ column chromatography.

Question, I know ether can also be seperated out in cold destilled water with terrible results, would distilliing the product of this improve the purity and ease of the process you have demonsrted? Would keeping the water seperated product remain stable for longer?

I'd like to see where I can make all the striaght chain alkanes. Methane is usually in normal cooking gas, propane and butane are sold for camping stoves, but I'd like to see what I can extract everything else from.

Back in my younger days I remember coming across a method for separating ether from the petroleum distillates in starter fluid for the sake of being able to huff the ether for a cheap and legal high. The basis for the "extraction" was to spray the starter fluid into a ziplock bag, then pour in some water, just any old water apparently. You then shake it a bunch and then snip the corner off of the bag to drain the bottom layer, which is supposedly the petroleum distillates. Clearly this method is bullshit and whomever wrote it hasn't taken a single chemistry class in their life. I just found it amusing that I found this method on a harm reduction forum for drug users and when I tried to point out the flaws in the process, nobody seemed to care.

​@@colmreynolds9869 "A lot of water" is a bit of an understatement. But since you're meant to use a ziplock bag for this method, you're not going to be using a lot of water. You might use no more than 100ml of water. I've provided an amusing example of exactly how much water it would take to dissolve 250ml (about 1 cup if you're american) Feel free to read it multiple times and take your time with it. The math might seem intimidating but I promise you it's nothing harder than you did in grade 6. =) Practical example: You have 250ml of heptane, Ignoring the ether. And we want to know how much water it would take to dissolve that 250ml of heptane. Heptane has a density of 0.684 grams per ml or 684mg/ml. So that 0.25l of heptane * 684mg/ml gives a total mass of 171 grams. So now we need to figure out how much water will dissolve 171 grams of heptane, based on your figure of 3.4 milligrams (0.0034 grams) per 1 liter of water. So if we take that total mass of 171 grams, convert to milligrams and we get 171,000 milligrams. Now We just need to divide that 171,000 milligrams of total material by the 3.4 milligrams per liter that will dissolve into the water. Which gives us 50,294 liters (13,411 gallons) of water just to dissolve 1 cup of heptane. That's why it's not practical and that's why it's not considered soluble. And that's why it's dangerous. I don't care how high you are, there's no way you're fitting thirteen and a half thousand gallons of water in ANY ziploc bag.lose to a fraction of an iota of a teensy bit of a significant amount dissolved into a ziplock bag with maybe 100ml of water in it. And that's not to say anything about whether the ether would be more soluble in the water and you'd just end up with the exact same problem you started with, only with 50,000 liters of water to remove too. lol. No, it's not exactly practical. But definitely very amusing to imagine.

As said in the video you have to buy in bulk, like a cases of a dozen cans or so. If you just buy one can at a time it's more expensive.

NurdRage ive done some digging around and i think i have found some bulk suppliers of starter fluid and can get 300g cans for about $5 if i buy about 20 but i cannot get access to the msds without trying to contact the manufacturers. I know for a lot of people especially in america its probably cheaper to distill it from starter fluid and i will likely do it in the future just for the heptane but in NZ its cheaper to just make it myself, i can get sulfuric acid pretty cheap and can also make my own ethanol and distill with my pot still, i will try doing it with the methylated spirits first and if it contains too many impurities ill try starter fluid while i get a ferment going.

Big issue with starting fluids is that many of them now contain pentane, and it's neary impossible to separate it form ether :/ According to some sources, even iron wire will prevent ether peroxide formation

butterflyspinart it consists with both polar and non polar parts . the C -O part is polarised due to the high electronegativity of O, but the C-H is not

How to blow you house to bits .

After close inspection of your hands, I'm gonna wager you're a Caucasian American male, late 20's early 30's, (either 28 or 32 if I'm being very particular), introverted judging by the choice of clothing (or very particular in the number/kind of people you surround yourself with), crafty - judging by your make-shift lab/testing sites, which makes me believe that your credentials as a chemist are partial, I.E you studied it, maybe have a degree in it, but potentially not working in it on a full-time basis, I'm also going to wager that you live in an owned property and not renting in a shared house because the DIY nature of your occasional practice can't be exercised in rented property otherwise you'd lose your deposit. Though intelligent and practical (i.e using whats available instead of buying lab material) I can also see hints of an active lifestyle, maybe it's a seasonal thing - but I definitely read outdoor activities being a thing that you engage in and/or enjoy to a certain extent. --- (end of partial profile) --- Wonder how accurate I am :>

The Chemistry Kid it's all a conspiracy, NurdRage is Nile Red. Just look at the evidence: NR, NR?! Coincidence? I think not. He uploads the same chemistry processes on different channels to make more $. Just look at Nile Reds face reveal. ;P
