When I've done this reaction in the past, I used to filtrate all the reaction in an Erlenmeyer flask. The remaining manganese dioxide solution was rinsed with water and the filtrate was added to the separation funnel and then separated in the two phases. But also in this manner was a good experiment. I love it. Greetings from Italy.

Excellent presentation in virtually every way! Love the stoichiometric analysis and the crystal lattice information, the latter of which I have not encountered prior to this in any YT videos. The graphic depiction of the crystalline structure is superb. My only recommendation for future videos is to consider a flat black background rather than white since most organic compounds are either white powders or colorless liquids. Also, since you have opted for a scholarly approach and obviously have access to incredible graphics capabilities, I would include a discussion of the reaction mechanism (if known), such as substitutions, eliminations, rearrangements, etc. Once again, bravo for the outstanding work here.

Nice demo. Some tips: Always put your stir bar in the flask before any chemicals in case it breaks the flask. The water should enter the condenser jacket from the bottom port an exit at the top. Don't fill reaction flasks more than 50% full. Use a funnel to pour things in to flasks with ground joints. You can simplify your workup by distilling the excess toluene from the reaction flask and by filtering through Celite.

I like the excellent image quality, what camera and lenses did you shoot it with? BRAVO!

If that's hardware store toluene you are using, you should purify it by adding sulfuric acid to it first. Doing so crystalizes the sulfides in it that distill over with the toluene at the big distallation plant. The boiling points of the two chemicals are really close to each other. After crystalize the sulfides, filter it, neutralize with sodium carbonate solution, add a bunch of sodium chloride to make the water dinse, decant, and add magnesium sulfate, let stand for about 2 hours, then you can add your potassium permanganate solution.

Your outro theme reminds me of the start of the song "I want to break free" by the 80s rock group, Queen

Casticsoda tuluane to sulphuric acid mixing kaise karte hai sir Batav please thanks

great video, especially to explain the process. But I don't know why you didn't follow the reaction quantities. for example you used such as 8 times the molar amounts of toluene required for the mass of kmno4 you weighed. Another thing is that i can't understeand the yields, your theorical massive yield for the benzoic acid had to be 9,0758 grams (0,05665 mol) if you used something like 17,9 grams of kmno4 (0,1133 mol). So the yield of benzoic acid had to be around 21%, if we see the mass that was formed theorically (9,0758g), or around 4% if we see the mass of toluene that you waighed.

Ok I see what your question is, I was honestly a bit lost at the first read. Let me explain: A stoichiometric reaction shows how many molecules react of every reagent to produce certain molecules of product and byproducts. Who speaks of molecules so speaks of moles too, they are the "same". That doesnt mean that I used the stoichiometric amounts to get my reaction mixture!!!! That a veru different thing and this is the key of your question. I added toluene in huge excess. We chemists speak of what we call the limitant reagent, which in this case is the permanganate. And it is very convinient!! Permanganate tends to be very reactive and the byproduct is insoluble in water so I added a huge excess of toluene to ensure all of the permanganate reacts. The excess toluene, as you saw, is simple to be separated from the reaction mixture. Also excess toluene forms an azeotrope with water and increases volume of the mixture, as bigger quantities are easier to work with. You can think that toluene acts both as reagent and solvent (partially, as there is water too). Hope that helps!

Приветик! Wouldn't be safer to grab the neck of the flask in case you spill out something accidentally? I can see many items (heating mantle, Simax bottle) available for those, who want to perform chemical experiments at home. ;) Would you recommend such a heating mantel? Does it work well? I understand your passion very well. Subscribed.

Well you are actually right! I just sometimes feel so confident handling glassware that I dont even imagine that something bad may happen, which it could alsoo!! Many years of experience and never had an accident hehe About the heating mantle... Yes!!! I am pretty happy with it. On the other hand I had an issue with it and it is the following: without the thermal probe the temperature set is not the actual temperature of the plate. And also my sponsor wants me to say it out loud, let me explain. If you want to boil water and set it to, let's say; 105ºC and erlenmeyer with water will never boil. You have to set it like at 200ºC or even more for a faster boil which is a bit dissapointing even though once you get used to it, its's just ok. With the probe also it works 100% well! The temperature rises pretty fast and precise! Again and as I said, I am pretty happy with it. The materials used and performance are extremely good and durable. I have done many experiments on it and it always have exceed the expectations.

​@@Glattuh I think better worry than sorry. The neck grabbing seems to be more comfortable in case you would need to transfer hot liquids. I meant a mantle, not a plate. I've found it already, unfortunately, there are no sizes I would consider to purchase (2000mL), and that link you have shown to me contains a very expensive item - for that price you can get a full set for distillation with the heating mantel for round bottom flasks. On the other hand, I rather do not need a hot plate (hydrodistillation, Soxhlet extractions). I think the temperature sensor on the device like a hot plate or heating mantle is not the best idea - you always suffer some losses of energy, so the temperature should be monitored in the place where you want to have the desired value. Thank you as well.

I need your help.. I am looking to make p-nitrobenzoic acid. I was originally going to use potassium dichromate for the oxidation but after looking at the msds I quickly opted for KMnO4 instead due to toxicity issues. My question is, how would you react the p-nitrotoluene with the KMnO4? What solvent would you use and how do you figure out how much KMnO4 you'll need? Would it be just as simple as refluxing a solution of both in water? Help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

@Glattuh

3 жыл бұрын

Hi! Probably you just need to replicate the conditions as in this video. I am sure p-nitrotoluene is a liquid too, inmiscible and less dense than water. So by becoming in contact with excess KMnO4 solution you will get the same reaction going :D

@CaptainBlackSea

2 жыл бұрын

p-nitrotoluene is melting in 55 °C, first melt it, prepare KOH + KMnO4 solution but use little water as you can. Water has H+ ions as well, and they consume KMnO4 electrones. KMnO4 absolutely use with KOH... that would be a rocket.. %85-90 yield. Thanks for video.

Hi and thanks! It is possible but not worth it at all, less than trying to get benzoic acid from toluene. I can imagine at least 2 ways of doing that, and both requires more energetic materials (also more expensive and difficult to get). If there is any interest in doing that is only for academic/entertainig purposes. If you are interested in toluene it can be get cheaply at drug stores as paint thinner. I got mine a while ago for exactly 6,29€ a liter.

Would prefer to make toluene from benzoic acid instead

I can give you a way to skip a lot of this, though you still might need to distill the liquid. You need a container, a beaker or a bottle, with water already half way filled in it. Pour in your toluene infused mixture. Cap and shake. Separate organic, top layer. Alcohols and esters stay behind in water. Then distill your organic solution.
