Detection of Elements: Lassaigne's Test


Preparation of Sodium Fusion Extract (Lassaigne’s Extract)
Materials Required

Real Lab Procedure


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.

Precautions:
Sodium metal is highly reactive. When exposed to air, it reacts even with the moisture
present in the atmosphere. It also reacts with the sweat of hands. Hence do not hold it
with hands. Always use forceps while handling sodium.
Before using sodium, press it within the folds of the filter paper to remove kerosene
oil.
Use dry ignition tubes for sodium fusion. Sodium reacts with water violently.
Put the unused sodium piece back in the bottle containing kerosene oil. Do not throw
it into the sink.
Repeat the process of sodium fusion with three ignition tubes. This is to ensure that
the fusion has taken place.
After immersing the red hot ignition tube in water, break it with a glass rod gently. Boil
the contents for 2-3 minutes so as to extract the soluble sodium salts in water.
