Exam Students, Let's Make Concentration Easy Tip #1 - Duration: 7:37.
So you're studying for exams!
The question that I'm asked most is
How can I help myself to concentrate better?
I help thousands of people every year
to concentrate more effectively and efficiently,
to remember more of what they read,
what they hear and what they study.
We make sure that they can bring
that to mind when they need it in their exams!
So if you're interested in the
techniques that I use, I'm going to be
showing 1 simple activity that you can use
to eliminate visual distraction
so that you can focus all of your attention
into your FOCUS ZONE
Your FOCUS ZONE is the space between the top of your head
the of your shoulders and down to your waist.
When you are concentrating and
focusing most of your energy and your attention
attention needs to be focused into this
space because this is where you
hold your book to read this is where you write
this is where you type this is why you do the things
that you need to do in order to study
and to perform in your exams.
If you can bring your attention into this FOCUS ZONE
and keep it there for EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME
then you will have no difficulty and studying
So the first activity that I help people to do is
is to bring the visual attention in
from their whole visual environment into this space
into their FOCUS ZONE
and to do this all we do is we reassure
your body and your mind and your whole being, in fact,
that you are SAFE in your VISUAL ENVIRONMENT.
We inherited our bodies and the way we operate
and the way that we operate
from our ancestors who were hunter-gatherers!
If they missed a single sign of danger
in their environment it could be catastrophic,
they could lose their life, their family or their food,
but for us in the 21st century
that's not the issue (Thankfully!)
We need to make sure of is that you feel secure wherever you are,
that you feel relaxed,
that you feel comfortable....
When you can feel safe in your environment
then it becomes possible for you to
focus all of your visual attention in here
and to ignore the rest of the visual environment.
To do this we are first going to
check how your eye muscles are working
because, when you are reading
your eyes have to travel over and back
and as you look up and look down
to various different things as you are studying
and if you are called to look up to you need to be
able to look up and look back down again
as long as your vision remains within your FOCUS ZONE
then things are okay
Right now we need to check how well the muscles
of your eyes are working because when
the muscles of your eyes aren't working
well you will start to use your neck
muscles and you find people who are
reading and they're turning the head
rather than moving their eyes
This can be a major strain and stress on your body
it makes you tired very quickly and it
makes you want to switch off
concentrating and studying from the
topic that you're dealing with.
So what we're going to do now is
to check how your eyes are moving
I'm going to invite you to LOOK UP towards your eyebrows
and then LOOK DOWN towards your chin
and look towards one ear
and then look towards the other ear
and just decide yourself which one
of those (directions) felt most strained
Was it (looking )UP Down to this side or the other?
Just write that down for yourself,
notice or just remember it.......
So the first activity we're going to do
involves putting your thumb and two fingers like this.
The distance apart is approximately the same
as the width of your mouth.
So bring it down here onto your chest
under your collar bone
just at the wing tips of your shirt.....
What you want to do is
rub here (under your collarbones )
the other hand is going to rest on your belly-button. (naval)
While we are doing this I'm going to invite you
you to move your eyes slowly all the way
all over to one side....
at eye level if you can
.... and then slowly all the way back....
....go to the other side at eye-level
look towards one ear
and then slowly across
towards the other ear again.
So one loop all the way over and back is one complete cycle
and we will do this three times in total.
Slowly...... slowly send your eyes across all the way
and all the way back slowly, gently
and as you are doing this you may find that you
actually scanning the whole visual horizon.
You are reassuring your brain and your body that you feel safe
and that there is no imminent danger
in your environment.
Next we're going to swap hands
I'm going to invite you just begin at
one (ear either on) this side of the other side
and slowly allow your eyes to go all the
way up towards your eyebrows,
across your forehead, follow all the way towards your ear
down across your cheek, down towards your chin
towards the other cheek,
over towards your ear,
all the way up towards your eyebrow
all the way up along
and anywhere that you find that your eyes are jumping
don't worry about it because we're going
to go around three times in total.
As we are doing this we are scanning the
environment above you and below you,
and we are reassuring the hunter-gatherer within you
that you're not going to be attacked
from the overhanging trees
you're not going to be attacked from the ground
and as a result you can feel safe and secure.
Because you know feel safe and secure within yourself
you are going to find it so much easier to
bring attention into the very center of your FOCUS ZONE
and you are going to find easier to
read and to do other things that will be
involved in studying.
So I'm going to check with you now
Please look towards your eyebrows
and look towards your chin
look towards one ear and thentowards the other ear.
So, is there the same level of strain(as before)
or have your eyes relaxed?
In the comments underneath
please let me know how you got on.
(There will be a new video ) tomorrow which will
help you to clear away the auditory distractions
so that you'll no longer be hearing the outside noises
and you are able to focus and calm down
the hearing and listening inside your head
so that the only thing that you're
hearing is your ( inner )voice as you reading
or your (inner )voice as you are working out the problem that you're solving

Join PBS NOVA on Kickstarter before March 3 to help MAKE SCIENCE FOR ALL - Duration: 5:54.
David Pogue: We're definitely looking at a 20 to 90% chance of… something…
No, no, no.
I was gonna to be on the 8:15 stagecoach to Chicago…
Nurse: Patient's ready, doctor.
Doctor: Handsaw!
What's that for?
It's just a bunion!
( gasp )
Announcer: American students come in 25th on standardized science tests...
Announcer: Cyber terrorism is on the rise, yet only 1 in 4 high schools offer computer classes...
Announcer: 18 percent of Americans think the sun revolves around the earth...
( scream )
Hello, I'm David Pogue.
Former technology columnist for the New York Times…
tech critic for Yahoo...
and the host of 16 programs on NOVA on PBS where I've "heroically" sacrificed my
dignity in the name of science.
Fire!
( screams )
Whoa!
You know—unfortunately, when a lot of people think about science, they picture… this.
Boring Announcer: Well, that's what happens when light is reflected from things.
( snore )
And that's a shame!
Because what scientists know—and science-lovers—is that science is actually more like this!
( cheers )
It's cool and exciting!
( cheers )
And there's a bigger picture, too.
If we're gonna solve the world's problems like curing diseases, feeding the hungry,
finding enough clean energy… we need science.
So, the big question is: How can we get more people to love science?
Well, that's where NOVA comes in.
( NOVA theme music )
For over 40 years, NOVA's mission has been to bring science to life.
It's the most-watched science show on American TV.
It's won countless Emmys, Peabodys, and other awards!
Teachers across the country depend on NOVA to fire up our kids in the classroom.
And NOVA has actually changed lives.
I've met kids who've decided to become scientists and engineers
because of NOVA shows they saw.
We need to make science… for everyone… and through Kickstarter, for the first time,
we see a way to involve as many people as possible in that mission!
Our first goal is to make a new NOVA special — with your help.
It's called Beyond the Elements.
It's actually a follow-up to a show I hosted
in 2012, called Hunting the Elements —
It was a two-hour exploration of the periodic table
told through experiments... explosions...
and adventures.
And explosions.
Over 10 million people watched that show.
Nearly 3 million people downloaded the Elements app
and countless teachers use our online support materials.
We think that's proof that science CAN be for everyone!
So ever since, we've been itching to make another special,
that goes beyond the periodic table, into the secrets of molecules.
There are only about 90 naturally-occurring elements, that can combine in over 100 million ways
to make up… everything we know.
Water.
Air.
DNA.
Coffee.
Styrofoam.
Spray-on cheese…stuff…
We're so excited to make this film!
And that's where you come in.
If we reach our first goal of one million dollars, we'll be able to get started right away
making Beyond the Elements
a 2-hour TV special, that PBS will broadcast on national TV.
At one and a quarter million dollars we'll also
be able to bring Beyond the Elements into the classroom
with additional teaching materials.
Then, it gets even cooler.
If we can hit our third goal, one and half million dollars, we'll be able to go interactive.
We'll create NOVA's very first virtual-reality experience.
Whoa...
Whoa!
Acid molecule – 10 o'clock!
Sorry.
It's just really cool.
You'll see.
Finally, the more we raise above that, the more schools we can help.
Our goal is to send free DVDs of both Elements specials
to every single public high school in America.
At two and a quarter million dollars that's nearly 26,000 schools!
And what do you get out of it?
Well, first of all, you'll be helping NOVA make something huge.
You can also share your input with us.
You can follow along behind-the-scenes the whole way!
And, of course, there will be rewards.
Like t-shirts, posters, and other cool stuff you can only get here.
Or, if you'd rather give unto others, you can help out your favorite science teacher
or a whole school by sending NOVA episodes to spark young imaginations.
And check back often – we'll be adding new stuff all month!
So, that's the plan.
And, look, I know it's a huge goal, but it's so worth doing.
If we work together, we can get more people turned on by science.
We can get more students ready for their technological future.
We can get more humans equipped to tackle the world's challenges.
Let's work together to inspire curiosity about the world.
Let's do this!
Doctor: Saw!
Please!
Give to our Kickstarter!
Please!

5 Tips to Make Your Long Distance Relationship Last - Duration: 5:22.
They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but that doesn't mean it's easy
to be away from your lover...
Hey YouTube, my name is Amy North and I'm a relationship coach from the west coast of
Canada.
Today I want to talk about something that I get asked often, and that's how to survive
the distance and have a strong, healthy relationship.
Now, I know first hand that long distance relationships aren't easy, I've been there
before and I must say, it does take commitment and dedication to keep your spark alive.
That said, the tips I'm about to share with you do help keep you and your man close, despite
the miles between you.
Before I do so I'd just like to quickly ask that if you enjoy what you learn here
today then please show your support by subscribing to my YouTube channel.
There you'll find more dating advice, and other tips for a loving, lasting relationship.
Now, let's jump into my five tips for making your long distance relationship last.
1.
Have an end date in mind.
One of the hardest things about being away from your partner is not knowing when you'll
see each other again.
Why?
Because it leaves room for the imagination to run wild, and if you start doubting your
relationship, it's a tough spot to get out of.
Instead make plans with your partner, and know when you will see each other next.
Whether that means planning a visit for months down the road, or seeing each other on the
weekends, whatever the case, simply having an idea of when you're been together again
does make the distance more doable, and you'll feel more connected.
When you are together be sure to decide when you'll see each other next.
After all, saying goodbye is a lot easier when you already have another trip to look
forward to.
Of course this can be easier said than done, but if you're both seriously committed to
the relationship, then you should be able to come up with a plan between you.
2.
Send your partner reminders
It's easy to tell your man that you love or miss him, but since actions speak louder
than words, showing him that he's on your mind is a great way to stay connected.
And these don't have to be grand gestures either.
Sure, a surprise package or letter in the mail is nice, but something as simple as a
"good morning" or "good night" text also speaks volumes.
It's these little reminders that will keep you on your man's mind, and vice versa.
For some powerful ways to show your man that you love and appreciate him visit my website,
www.coachnorth.com and watch the free video presentation.
There I share tips that will not only strengthen your relationship, but they'll also help
to keep the spark alive.
I'll be sure to post the URL in the description below.
3.
Make time for one another.
This is a bit of an obvious one, but setting aside time for your partner is crucial to
making your long distance relationship last.
Sure, schedules can be conflicting, especially if you're living in different time zones,
but as the saying goes, if there's a will there's a way!
To do this, talk to your partner and compare schedules to set up "dates" for phone
or even skype calls.
Just as you would go on dates if you were in the same town or city, keep making time
for each other.
If you find that things are getting stale then switch up your routine.
Instead of settling for casual calls you could decide that every Sunday night you both enjoy
a glass of wine while video chatting.
Or, you could play an online game together, or Skype and watch a movie at the same time.
Keeping things interesting is not only a great way to pass the time you spend apart, but
it saves you from having the same old "I miss you" chats.
4.
Stay positive
It's normal to miss your man, but if you let your emotions get the best of you you're
going to start sabotaging your relationship.
If you start letting negativity seep into your relationship, then slowly but surely,
your man won't be as excited to talk to you.
Why?
Because no one wants to listen to someone who's always complaining or upset.
As tough as it may be, it's crucial that you do your best to stay positive.
Yes, the waiting can be painful but you need to remind yourself that in the end it will
be worth it.
One good trick to staying positive is to be grateful all the time.
Be thankful that you have someone to love and someone who also loves you back.
Be thankful for the little things, like the sweet text messages he sends you or the daily
check ins.
It can be hard to master, and there's no doubt that you'll have tough days, but remember,
positivity will keep your relationship loving and strong.
5.
Avoid jealousy!
Just because you can't spend time with your man, you can't expect him to isolate himself
from the rest of the world.
In fact, you should encourage him to keep busy — when he's preoccupied it'll give
him less time to sit around missing you, which as much as it may sound romantic, will end
up doing more harm than good.
That said, when your man is spending time with others it's important that you remain
supportive and don't get jealous.
Even if his plans involve women you don't know, trust him enough to be his own person.
If you get defensive anytime he's around other ladies, he'll assume it's because
you're not being faithful when you're around other men.
Or at the very least you'll come across as insecure.
On the other hand, if you're okay with it, you automatically seem more trustworthy and
confident.
So simply put, keep your cool.
Well that does it for this video, thanks so much for watching.

Did Blizzard Really Make Mei Skinnier? - Duration: 6:35.
Mei has become a poster-child for thick women everywhere
and now with this Lunar New Year legendary
skin, people are a little upset. They seem FOOLED that Mei isn't as skinny as they once
thought. And Blizzard themselves had some choice words about it that don't seem entirely truthful...
Might I start by saying all these lunar new year skins are fantastic? Chinese New Year
isn't really a holiday they HAD to do considering they JUST did a winter event. Most of the
Lunar New Year skins were met with praise from the community. Hot Xenyata is a thing.
Cause he has a face now. I guess people feel like they can ship him with other characters
better now? I don't know.
ANYWAY people have a problem with Mei's skin because of course they do. There was a community
post titled "where did Mei's waist go?" The top post reads "Her regular suit seems like
a tight enough fit on her but her Chinese New Year one her bust and waist are totally
slimmed down. We can have fat as fuck Roadhog and love him so why can't we have fat Mei?"
I like the comment right under it "Because you need to stop focusing on Mei's weight
and move the payload."
So what gives? I think the obvious answer is that she's wearing a big heavy jacket in
her regular skin. She even has a belt full of thick pouches around her waist so this
adds a ton more weight to her mid section. It definitely bulks up her silhouette. In
the Chinese New Year skin she's wearing thin material and a thin belt. It DOES look like
it's squeezing her pretty tight there, but that's just because all of the lines curve
inward, and out of that waist area. There's a side profile floating around comparing the
new skin to her fire fighter skin. There's definitely a lot more thickness there in the
fire fighter skin. I think it's important to note that this is a fire fighter outfit.
And those are thick as hell. It's thicker EVERYWHERE on her body. I do not think it
was intentional to make Mei appear any skinnier than she did previously. She literally just
took her jacket off. That's it.
In the original concept designs for Mei she does look skinny.
I know these are just concepts and they don't necessarily reflect the final product but,
she's skinny here. These are some ideas from the artists. I shouldn't say skinny but there is an hour glass goin' on.
UNTIL BLIZZARD RESPONDED to that forum post from earlier. A community manager said, "There's
a bug with Mei's Luna and Chang'e skins right now that's causing her waist to appear much
smaller than normal. We've already fixed the bug internally, but it's going to require
a patch to implement (ideally it'll be included in whatever next patch hits your gaming platform)."
That seems like a whole load of horse shit to me. I find it very hard to believe that
this is a bug. This is an artist's vision of what this character would look like without
all that gear on. People just don't like it and want her to be fatter. I don't think it's
going to stop anybody from playing the game. But fine, if you want to appease the fans
go right ahead. Calling it a "bug" is a little much though. Could just say you fucked up.
Blizzard has a history with responding to
criticism like this and making changes to the game because of it. There's the infamous
sexy Tracer pose that got replaced by a slightly less sexy but still pretty sexy Tracer pose.
Players even took issue with Mei's skin in the Winter Wonderland event. In a post titled
"Blizzard, please give an answer to the Mei skin." a user stated "It's clear that the
majority of people do not like that skin, and feel that it is inferior to all of the
other legendary skins in the game. Someone from Blizzard needs to respond to the criticism
of the Mei skin, and clarify what exactly defines a legendary skin. This skin is probably
going to be the last Mei legendary skin we get for awhile. A long while. If Mei was the
last hero to get a skin since launch, then I shudder to think how long it'll be until
we get our next one. A lot of people are concerned that this will be her only new skin for a
long time, and it's (as decided by the community) quite a disappointing one." Remember, these
are free updates. Blizzard doesn't have to do any of this. And for the record, I don't
think there's anything wrong with her holiday skin. It's Christmas-y, maybe people took
issue with that?
In this case it was Game Director Jeff Kaplan who responded, saying "Sorry you are disappointed
with Mei's winter skin. We don't have a specific rule for what makes something Legendary
or Epic. We just sort of make a gut call based off of what we think is cool. Coolness is
very subjective, and based off of the community reaction it seems like our gauge was off on
this one." This part is great. "For people concerned that Mei is not going to get another
Legendary for a long time, you need not worry. We have something pretty awesome for her early
next year." HA.
Oh Jeff Kaplan you were so young then...
...one month ago...
I think he hit the nail on the head right there. "Coolness is very subjective." I align
myself with Steve Job's theory that people don't know what they want, they just have
to be handed something they'll like. And not everybody is going to like what you have to
offer. You can't please everybody. It's great that Blizzard is active in their community,
but you don't need to make excuses for yourself. Your product is good. People are going to
keep playing.
Now if you wanna fix Mei, nerf the FUCK out of her so her ICE SHIELD stops blocking my
HIGH NOON.

How to Make Big Digital Pattern / Template for DIY Projects!! | I Wear A Bow - Duration: 4:56.
Yes I'm in my pajamas right now.
Hi! I am Bonita!
So today we're going to learn how to make this big digital pattern that you can use
For anything, any projects like sewing, DIY project, or any craft project, or maybe room decor, anything! Just any.. any other things.. yeah..(?)
I learned it from Karen Kavett. So go check her video for the original lesson!
I will leave the link in the description box below or check this cards above, or at my right
This way, this way, this way.. yeah
So I won't keep this intro long, let's start the fun!
Let's open the photoshop.
Make new file, and I like to make the size in inches.
For the size is up to you.
It depends on how big you want your pattern is.
For this tutorial, I want to make a pattern that is approximately twice the size of A4
paper.
So hence mine is 15 inches and 20 inches.
Also make sure the resolution is 300 pixels.
Okay.
I want to make a star pattern, so I use this polygon tool.
Double click the canvas and it will open the settings.
Activate the star option, number of sides 5, and I like my indent sides by 30%.
Just ignore the width and height now.
It automatically made a small star.
I want a big star, so I deleted it.
Then click and drag on the canvas to make a big star.
Move it to the center.
And click ctrl+T to activate the Transform tool.
And then readjust the size.
Click Shift while you adjust it, so it will link the width and height.
Next right click the polygon layer and click rasterize layer.
Then I fill the star with black.
Now make another file with less than A4 paper size so it won't be cut when we will print
it later.
Like 7.5 inches and 10 inches.
Select all and then copy it, to the star file.
Then change the color with any contrasting color.
Move it to the corner.
And then copy it and move it the side.
And change the color with any other color so we can see the difference.
Copy it again and move it.
Just do it until it's full.
Now use magic wand tool, and click the first rectangle layer and make selection of it.
Now click the polygon layer and click ctrl+c to copy it.
And paste it to here.
Do this with another rectangle so we can copy all parts of star shape.
After that, deactivate these layer so we can see just one layer.
Now click blending options, and make the fill opacity zero.
Now add stroke in the inside position.
And the size is up to you.
Use black for printing.
And just right click and copy this layer style and paste it to other star layers.
Now if you activate the eyes you can see it's already like these.
Deactivate it again to save the star parts one by one.
Now it's up to you wheter you want it as JPEG or PDF.
For me, I like PDF for printing.
So yeah save it.
Star pattern part 1.
Okay.
And do it with other layers.
Save them.
Now this is how it turned out.
Now if you want to print it, dont't choose fit, choose actual size or shrink oversized
pages.
And then see the page setup and change it to A4 paper because my paper is A4.
And print.
Now after cut all the parts.
It's just a matter of assemble all of these like a puzzle, Karen said.
Then use tape to stick them together. And done!
So how we're going to use this?
Next video, so stay tuned!
So that is it for this video! If you found this video helpful, share this video!
And as always I will send you lotsa lotsa lotsa lots of love, peace, and courage. Bye and have a wonderful day!

Convenience of gift cards make them easy target of thieves - Duration: 2:09.
LOTS OF PEOPLE BUY AND RECEIVE
GIFT
CARDS .. BUT THIEVES ALSO LIKE
THEM.
BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU...
... ABOUT HOW AVOID BECOMING A
VICTIM OF
A GIFT CARD SCAM.
You can find them just about
everywhere... and
they're easy and convenient gift
ideas. But
they've also become the target
of thieves.
One of the things when you get a
gift card, you
want to look at the back of it
and make sure that
the back of the gift card hasn't
been scratched off
Most gift cards have a three or
four digit PIN
under a silver scratch-off, used
to help verify a
card's balance.
Criminals could scratch off the
PIN number and
have recorded the gift card
numbers as well as
the PIN. That's the only
information they would
need to steal whatever balance
may have been
placed on that gift card. They
could check it over
and over and over until that
gift card is sold
As far as getting your money
back if you've
become a victim... Dunn says
don't count on it.
If you purchase it with that
card number already
scratched off then essentially
it's going to be
your word against the merchant's
in terms of
who's responsible
If you're buying a gift card,
you want to make
sure that the silver scratch-off
is in tact
Dunn says businesses can also do
their part to
secured especially
if it's something that we've
identified at a particular
store there's a pattern where
this has happened.
We know if some merchants that
keep
those cards completely locked up
and secured
and audited so they understand
how many
cards they have, what employees
have access
to them
If you have a consumer concern
or are interested
in becoming an Action Line
volunteer, give us a
call at 591-0222 weekdays

Make Ethyl Propionate by Fischer Esterfication and Molecular Sieves with a Soxhlet extractor - Duration: 9:18.
Warning: Sulfuric and propionic acids are corrosive.
Wear gloves when handling them.
Ethanol is highly flammable.
Fire safety protocols must be in place.
Greetings fellow nerds.
I wanted to make more ethyl propionate so i'd have a good stock available in case i made more mistakes in my synthesis of pyrimethamine.
Now in a previous video we made ethyl propionate by the classic process of acid catalyzed fischer esterification between ethanol and propionic acid.
If you want to review that video you can check the video description.
The drawback of that method was that our raw yield was about 40% and that was likely inflated since we hadn't purified by distillation yet.
The reason why the yield was low was because the reaction is reversible.
The water can react with the ethyl propionate and produce propionic acid and ethanol again.
If we could remove the water we could drive the reaction forward.
Unfortunately we can't just distill the water out because the ethanol and the ethyl propionate azeotropes have even lower boiling points.
We'd never be able to selectively remove just the water.
We'd also carry out too much of our reactants and stop the reaction.
Now in a previous video i showed that we could use molecular sieves to dry alcohol
and some have asked if that could be used for fischer esterification.
Unfortunately we can't add the molecular sieves directly because the acids in the reaction would destroy them.
Luckily, for us, there is a workaround.
In a previous video I showed this apparatus, the soxhlet extractor.
For further information about it you can check the video description.
But briefly it allows us to condense vapor, dissolve or expose something to that condensate,
and then return the dissolved substance to the boiling flask.
In this video we're going to use it instead to selectively remove water with molecular sieves.
First we start with a erlenmeyer flask and add in 80 mL of propionic acid.
Then we add to that 100 mL of ethanol.
Normally you would remove any dissolved water first but in this case we don't have to as we'll be removing the water during our reaction.
Finally we need an acid catalyst and we'll use 4 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid.
The process so far is just like regular fischer esterification.
Now for the important difference, instead of a simple reflux apparatus,
we set up a soxhlet apparatus filled with molecular sieves 3A.
I have about 80 grams worth.
Mine is bagged with filter paper to prevent the beads from being sucked through the siphon tube and falling into the boiling flask.
The molecular sieves were previously dried on a hot plate at 250 celsius for three hours.
Now the amount of molecular sieves you have limits the size of your reaction.
Molecular sieves can hold about 22% of their mass in water.
So you have to calculate how much mass water that is and size your reaction to produce a roughly equal amount.
You also have to ensure you have enough volatile solvents to fill your soxhlet extractor.
If it doesn't fill high enough to activate the soxhlet siphon then the solvents won't properly return when they are dried.
I sized the quantity of chemicals earlier to match what i'm using here.
Okay once the apparatus is all assembled and the cooling water running, turn on the hotplate.
Gradually raise the temperature until it starts to reflux and condense into the soxhlet extractor.
You don't need a very high turnover rate.
What's happening is we're reacting the propionic acid with ethanol to form ethyl propionate and water.
The sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst.
Now as said before, the reaction is reversible so we can never get a good yield just at equilibrium.
The water reacts with the ethyl propionate and goes back to ethanol and propionic acid.
The soxhlet extractor helps us get around this.
The boiling mixture of ethanol, propionic acid, ethyl propionate and water forms low boiling azeotropes that rise up and condense into the soxhlet apparatus.
For those of you that don't know, or missed my video on fractional distillation, azeotropes are mixtures that boil together.
They behave almost like pure chemicals in that they boil and condense with the same composition.
You can't separate them by distillation alone.
Now i don't exactly know what azeotrope compositions form here.
Water and ethanol make one azeotrope but i found no data on ethyl propionate and the azeotropes it forms.
Whatever it is, I'm betting the the lowest boiling azeotrope between all three contains water.
Even if it's just a few percent water that's tremendously advantageous to us.
Molecular sieves are extremely good at extracting water from organic solvents
so any ethanol or ethyl propionate that condensed would be thoroughly dried and then returned to the boiling flask.
Where it reboils along with a bit more water.
By cycling the water, alcohols and esters around with the extractor,
we can gradually remove all the water and only the water,
without losing our alcohol or esters as we would if we just went with straight distillation.
It's a great trick, the only drawback is that it won't work if none of the low boiling azeotropes contain water.
Now at this point you might be wondering what happens with the acids.
Propionic acid and sulfuric acid are too polar and too high boiling so they don't vaporize and condense into the soxhlet apparatus.
This is very convenient for us as molecular sieves are destroyed by acids.
Thanks to the soxhlet extractor we can use them for the reaction without actually using them in the reaction.
In a way, we've built a mini chemical plant where we have two separate processes running.
Fischer esterification here, and water removal over here.
Anyway, I'll let this run overnight.
While molecular sieves are very effective they are also very slow and need time to work.
Okay here we are the next day and i've already turned off the heating.
Once it's cooled, we pour 100 ml of cold water into the soxhlet extractor.
This is to wash out the alcohol and ethyl propionate from the sieves for greater recovery.
Now give it a stir.
The water will now dissolve most of the components in our reaction mixture except ethyl propionate
which has very low solubility in water.
The ethyl propionate will then float on top like an oil allowing for convenient separation.
To do this we use a separatory funnel.
You can see the layer of ethyl propionate floating on top of the water.
Drain away the water first and then collect the ethyl propionate.
Now you might be wondering why i'm washing with water when i said water destroys ethyl propionate.
While the mixture is cold the reaction of water and ethyl propionate is very slow.
It's only when it's hot that the reverse reaction becomes a problem.
Nonetheless, when i store this i'll be sure to remove all traces of water.
And there it is, crude ethyl propionate.
The mass of this is 103g for a crude yield of 93%.
This is a tremendous improvement over the direct method that only gave 40%.
Now granted, this 93% is grossly impure, but so was the 40% of the original method so we can still compare them.
To improve purity somewhat i'm going to wash it again with 100mL of cold water.
The most likely impurity is ethanol which, while soluble in water is also soluble in ethyl propionate
and usually doesn't wash out in a single run.
Let me separate them out again.
And there we go.
This is 90g or about 81% yield.
We're still ahead of the original method.
Now i'm going to store my crude ethyl propionate over molecular sieves to remove the water.
In my future experiments i'll need it water free.
There is likely still a few percent ethanol remaining but that isn't an issue for what i want it for.
If you want to remove the ethanol you can fractionally distill the ethyl propionate.
In anycase i'm actually quite pleased with how well the soxhlet extractor with molecular sieves worked.
My bet that water was in the low boiling azeotrope paid off.
And this procedure wasn't even optimized yet.
I used twice as much ethanol as necessary because i was roughly copying the old method.
If the water is so effectively removed then we don't need an excess of ethanol.
A stoichiometric amount might work better and give even higher recoverable yield.
Yet another option would be to use an excess of propionic acid and have complete conversion of ethanol.
With no water or ethanol present one could directly fractionally distill pure ethyl propionate from the mixture.
No need for water washing and additional molecular sieve drying.
So many options are available.
This procedure doesn't waste any new chemicals either, the molecular sieves used in the soxhlet extractor can be dried and reused.
This is what i love about having a new tool for chemistry.
The tool itself might change just a single step.
But it can radically change your procedures in ways that open up whole new pathways.
I wish i had more time to try out all these new pathways but i need to move on to my next experiment.
Anyway, so that was how you use a soxhlet extractor and molecular sieves to drive forward the fischer esterification of ethanol and propionic acid.
