PRE-LAB QUESTIONS While filtering the insoluble impurities from a hot solution, why is it necessary to warm up the Pasteur filtering pipette? Why should the solution filtrate be allowed to cool slowly? If it is cooled in an ice-water bath immediately, what will happen? Will it be an advantage or a disadvantage? Explain:

Lab that extracted caffeine from tea leaves and purified it using the process of sublimation - Why is it important to open the vacuum first and then add ice-cold water to the cold finger?

Explain the following: You add 100 mL water to a 500-mL round-bottom flask and heat the water until it is boiling. You remove the heat and stopper the flask, and the boiling stops. You then run cool water over the neck of the flask, and the boiling begins again. It seems as though you are boiling water by cooling it.
