How to make benzene

In this video I will be synthesizing benzene from sodium benzoate and sodium hydroxide.

This procedure was taken from the ScienceMadness forum: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=325

The ratios of reactants used and the method of using the can was suggested by Organikum.

I forgot to mention in the video, but if you use glass, it does not conduct well and depending on how much you use, the glass can crack when cooling.
