Why was gravity filtration used instead of evaporation to isolate the calcium carbonate?
Adi S.
Nibaal K.
Why is the final product from the recrystallization process isolated by vacuum filtration rather than gravity filtration? Why is slow cooling important to the purification of an organic compound? Why does one add excess hot solvent to the recrystallization solution before hot gravity filtration through fluted filter paper to remove either an insoluble impurity or decolorizing agent? Why are wide-stem or stemless glass funnels used instead of long-stem funnels to filter hot solutions during recrystallization? If the filtrate cools too quickly, crystals may form in the stem of the funnel.
