How to Make Glycerol (Transesterification)

In this video I demonstrate how to prepare glycerol from vegetable oil and methanol via a transesterification reaction. If you enjoyed this video, check out some of my others and drop a like and subscribe for more!

Some activities demonstrated in this video may be dangerous to replicate and should NOT be attempted by individuals at home. While chemistry is very enjoyable, safety must always be number one concern and doing research is very important before trying the reactions themselves. This video is solely intended for educational purposes and should not be replicated in any way shape or form at home.

Thanks for the support!

Love the old school poison bottle for the HCl

Can you try to make this reaction using ethanol? I know that is possible, but i can't find any videos about it. Unfortunatly methanol is incredible difficult to find here.
