Questions:
1. How to make Lassaigne's extract (aka sodium fusion extract)? Briefly sequence the
procedure using the sequence diagram below. 20 pts

Take a small piece of dry sodium in a fusion tube.

Heat the tube slightly on a Bunsen burner so that the sodium melts to a shining
globule.
Add a pinch of the organic compound.

Heat it slowly to start with so that the compound reacts with sodium
metal.
Now heat the tube strongly till it becomes red hot.

Plunge the red hot tube into a china dish containing distilled water.
Crush the contents with a glass rod and heat to boiling point.

Stop heating and remove the insoluble matter by filtration.

The filtrate is called Lassaigne's Extract.
