Organic Practical Setup 4. Reflux distillation & 2-necked flask
A short video to show you the setup for the organic practical technique known as "reflux distillation" using a 2-necked flask. This allows the second reagent to be added slowly (or in stages) after the apparatus has been safely assembled. It 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
