Carbonyl Compounds: Purifying Organic Compounds
Carbonyl Compounds: Purifying Organic Compounds
- The key practise is purifying organic compounds
- The steps to prepare and purify an organic solid include: dissolve impure solid in solvent, recrystallize by cooling to form crystals, and philtre to separate pure crystals from impure solution.
- Preparation and purification of organic liquid involve distillation process: heating to vaporise impurities with lower boiling points, then condensing and collecting the pure liquid.
- The test for purity of an organic solid utilises a melting point test: a pure compound will melt at a specific temperature, deviation indicates impurity.
