Interpretation:Use of steam distillation than simple distillation for isolation of citral from lemon grass oil should be determined.
Concept introduction:Simple distillation is separation technique that is used to separate mixture of organic compounds with difference in their boiling points more than
Steam distillation is technique that is used to separate and purify volatile compounds either immiscible or almost immiscible in water. This method makes use of codistillation of mixture of water and other organic liquids. This can also be applied for separation and purification of some organic solids.

- Why is water not used as a solvent in extraction of nutsarrow_forward2. The goal behind suction filtration is to remove soluble impurities that are on the surface of the crystals. Therefore, why can't you simply use suction filtration instead of recrystallization to purify an impure solid?arrow_forwardGive some advantages of steam distillation over simple distillation.arrow_forward
- What are the functions of the graduated cylinder and distillate in a distillation set-up?arrow_forwarda) What is the purpose of performing a distillation? p) How is a distillation performed? c) What factors would cause you to choose to do a fractional distillation instead of a simple distillation?arrow_forwardYou grab a soft drink bottle from your refrigerator. The contents are liquid and remain liquid even when shaken. You now remove the cover, and the liquid solidifies. Provide an explanation for this finding.arrow_forward
- Which is better fractionating distillation or simple distillation?arrow_forwardIn the preparation of a standard stock solution for protein analysis, 50 mg of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was dissolved in deionized distilled water to a final volume of 10 mL. What is the weight of BSA in 0.60 mL stock solution?arrow_forwardWhat is the dilution factor if 10 µL of extract is added to 990 µL distilled water?arrow_forward
- how to use Gas Chromatography in Cosmetics Provide a procedure on how to do this example that you provided. Explain the procedure and what data would you gather?arrow_forwardSuppose you had a sample of a white crystalline solid that was a mixture of calcium carbonate and calcium chloride. Describe how you could treat the sample to isolate one of the solid in the pure state. Which solid would it be.arrow_forwardWhat is Van dorn water samplerarrow_forward
