Amphetamine synthesis from P2NP via Al/Hg (video)

Ah okay, by washing the finished product with acetone and then letting it boil or dry? Then what remains is 99% speed, so to speak?
Simply dry your finished product, then put it in some filter paper and pour acetone over it.Make sure the whole mass comes into contact with the acetone.Air dry after. This will cause all acetone soluble impurities to dissolve in your acetone, leaving you with somewhat pure amphetamine sulphate.
None, of course. You wash away the IMPURITIES, so you only loose that which is not amphetamine in the first place. What's left is a more pure product.
If you wish you can always cut it afterwards, with non-harmful fillers. But it is important to clean your product from potentially harmful side-products and impurities so that the starting material is as pure as possible. So if you loose some weight in the purification process, its not the product that disappears. Its the junk you dont want.
The Buchner funnel is selected according to its size. It depends on how much of the suspension needs to be filtered at one time.

A couple of questions from an inexperienced chemist.
What is the function of the cooling tube (the reflux condenser)? Why is it put?
Is it covered at the top? I don't know how to appreciate it in the video.
What size of these is the right one?

The evaporating gases pass through the condenser are cooled, condensed and returned back to the reaction mixture. It is impossible to close the duct, some gases must come out, so as not to pump pressure. To increase the efficiency of the condenser, you can connect cold running water to it, for this it has two outlets. The larger the size of the condenser, the more efficiently it will work. You can take 4-6-8 balls. It is important that the plume of the condenser fits the flask with which it will connect.
I have a question about the alkalinization,
I have read that one could carry out the neutralization with conventional washing soda, i.e. sodium carbonate Na2CO3, and only then change to NaOH to get to Ph14. This would be cheaper, you can get soda everywhere and it would be more gentle for the product.
Another source, however, says that you should only use NaOH because otherwise the product would be too weak.
Can someone bring clarity into it?

I own these reagents, are they correct and suitable for cooking
\\\\These are suitable reagents for synthesis.
