a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Effect of removal of solvent at temperatures below their normal points with help of rotary evaporator should be determined.

Concept introduction: Rotary evaporator is laboratory apparatus that is used to remove solvents with help of reduced pressure. This is designed in such way that allows fast evaporation of solvents. A variable-speed motor is used for rotation of flask that has solvent to be evaporated.

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Preference of rotary evaporation distillation over simple distillation should be determined.

Concept introduction: Rotary evaporator is laboratory apparatus that is used to remove solvents with help of reduced pressure. This is designed in such way that allows fast evaporation of solvents. A variable-speed motor is used for rotation of flask that has solvent to be evaporated.

What is the purpose of the laboratory exercise about simple distillation and fractional distillation
It is said that the surface area of the boiling liquid should be kept as large as possible. However, why is it that too large of a distilling flask should also be avoided?
1.          Aspirin could be recrystallized by dissolving in ethanol and adding water.  Explain the logic for this procedure.
