In this video I’ll show you how to make diethyl by the dehydration of ethanol with sulfuric acid. In the beginning I did not wear gloves. You should wear gloves when dealing with acids or anything dangerous! But it was sunday (I forgot to buy new gloves...), cold enough outside to perform this reaction without needing ice for cooling and I just had to do it. I washed my hands thoroughly! Don’t try it without proper PPE!
