Warning: Ether is extremely flammable. This must only be carried out in an extremely well ventilated area.
In this video we make diethyl ether from ethanol and sulfuric acid. I adapted by procedure from YouTube user myst32YT. Here is a link to his ether synthesis video: • Make Diethyl ether
I also used this as a resource: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/vi...
The final product likely still has a little bit of a water in it. I would suggest adding more drying agent or molecular sieves if you need it to be anhydrous.
