air doesn't react with ethyl propionate so it's not a problem.

Hi Nurd, just wanted to tell you how much i enjoy your videos. Question, when you store your Ethyl Propionate, aren't you afraid that the air in the bottle will contaminate your product? I was thinking that a shot of inert gas would isolate it even better. Thanks again!

I notice that you Sohxlet extractor is 100ml. What is the minimum size for the flask it is connected to. I assume it must be greater than 100ml. Does the solvent make a difference because of different thermal expansions or aliens or whatever?
