Over 4 days, I distilled at 120*C, collecting the distillate. From this, I still don't know what I'm going to do to try to get out my T-butyl. But the
goal is the adventure, not just the destination!
What was left in my distillation RBF was all the heavy stuff, and these wonderful, dense crystals of sodium sulfate. From 2 days out in the sun and
fresh air (and it's been humid here, for sure), they aren't hygroscopic. The single cluster here weighs 3.6 grams, and includes a wonderfully large
single crystal. Enjoy! |
