  • Before we dive into all kinds of fascinating chemistry laboratory techniques, we should familiarize ourselves with all the different equipment we will be using to perform these techniques. The chemistry lab is full of neat-looking glassware, various instruments, and safety equipment. What is it all for? Let's get a closer look!

    8:07 That is not a dropping funnel... that is a Soxhlet extractor!
    A dropping funnel is used to add solvents or solutions to a apparatus.
    A Soxhlet extractor is used to continuously wash a solid material with a solvent to extract some solubile compond.

    What you call a Dropping funnel is actually a Soxhlet Extractor. It is used over a refluxing flask of solvent, and fitted with a condenser in order to extract a natural product that is placed in a paper thimble inside the extractor.

    This is giving me a severe PSTD. While pursuing biochem, my labwork teacher forced me to memorize about a hundred different abreviations (with 0 logic to them) for various types of glassware, or she'd fail me. Anyway, in the end I somehow managed, but with couple more challenges like that down the line, I lost my passion for biochem and motivation to learn, and eventually dropped out of the university during the last year of study.

  • @lloydevans2900
    @lloydevans2900 Před 2 lety +1

    I can remember from early A-level chemistry class being taught how to fold filter papers - from the simple double fold to the more intricate "fluted" arrangement (aka concertina folded), which helps when filtering a hot solution by minimising physical contact with the funnel and hence reduces the rate of heat loss. It occurred to me at the time that surely it would save time and effort if you could get filter papers which had been made this way in advance. Later that day, I discovered that you can indeed get those - just from the supermarket, where they are routinely sold as "coffee filters". Because of course doing a solvent extraction of ground coffee beans (which is essentially what automatic coffee makers do) also benefits from keeping the solution hot.
    So here's my question: Why are "pre-fluted" filter papers available in supermarkets, but not from lab supplies catalogues? Why are coffee drinkers afforded this convenience, while those doing practical chemistry have to make their own? It can't be down to expense, since coffee filters are dirt cheap, and lab filters are way more expensive. Anyone got any ideas?

    This really hit me in the "feels" and took me back to high school chemistry and college.
    For the young folks reading the comments: go to your labs! Seriously. GO TO YOUR LABS! Your companion laboratory curricula can actually be a lot of fun, make for a great way to meet people (especially as an undergrad when you'll be doing lab-partner oriented exercises), and your grade that semester is absolutely dependent on your academic performance AND your lab attendance. Undergrad lab work is just about showing up and learning the basics, folks, it's nothing to be intimidated about, I promise!

    8:06 This is not a dripping funnel with a pressure equalizing tube, but a Soxhlet extractor. You can recognize the Soxhlet extractor by the siphon on the side next to the glass tube for rising the solvent vapors. In addition, the ground glass joint at the upper end of the Soxhlet extractor is usually much larger than that of a dripping funnel. A Soxhlet extractor does not have a valve at the bottom, so it cannot be used as a dripping funnel. A chemist should already know the difference.

      If you had a borohydride for example, it’s easier to use higher pressures and mechanical engineering, which is because of the low heat. Of course every lab is flexible, but personally you can’t stock up on glassware and expect everything to work. You will most likely encounter issues if it’s new.
