reaction

Oh no! You forgot to stir your reaction mixture while it was still warm. Now it is hard and stuck in the vial.

The video shows a one dram vial with a small quantity of light brown substance at the very bottom. Next to the vial on the lab bench is an empty plastic weighing boat. A gloved hand appears and inverts the vial, shaking it over the weighing boat, but none of the substance exits the vial. When the vial is replaced on the lab bench, we see that the substance inside is unmoved and still stuck to the bottom.

Go back and re-weigh out your reagents.
