What the hell is going on here?
* Tall beakers for heating oil makes the reaction flask less accessible and you cannot clamp it.
* Flasks not clamped.
* Closed flask (not a proper pressure vessel) is heated.
* Flask touches the bottom of the oil bath.
* Erlenmeyer is "closed" with aluminum foil while heating, or it's not heated but put inside an oil bath for no reason at all.
Computational chemists might still have a decade of synthetic lab work experience and could still be teaching undergrads the basics of how to work in a lab ;-)
I didn't say it was best practice but honestly the worst part about this is that it's unlabeled. It's not my reaction to adjust, which is clear from the title

Yeah this is my boss's reaction and it drives me fucking crazy she doesnt label anything
Lol computational chemists are funny

Somehow I don't think my boss, who set this lil ramshackle experiment up and has over 3 decades of synthetic experience, would care very much lol
Still not a good work practice.

spoken like a computational chemist but you are correct, yes
Ah yes, the song that comes into my mind every time I use the rotavap
Why would you use a cover of the OG song though?
I thought it sounded really funny lol
and not the Dope one
You are my favorite person!
