The followings methods are useful to induce crystallization EXCEPT adding a small crystal of the desired compound, called a seed crystal, to the solution adding anhydrous potassium carbonate to the solution and cooling it in an ice bath scratching the inner wall of the Erlenmeyer flask with a glass stirring rod reheating the solution to boiling to boil off some of the solvent, and then allow the solution to cool to room temperature again to effect crystallization
If a mixture is distilled rapidly, the separation of its compound is poorer than if the mixture is distilled slowly. Please explain why is that so using your own understanding. I don't need a copy-pasted answer from google.
Please answer this question as fast as you can please and tahnk you. I will afterwards write an wonderful review on solving the question. Thank you. Why is it important for us to leave the water for 5 minutes and determine the water's temperature? The density of water will vary with temperature. You want the water to equilibrate to room temperature in order to maintain consistent results. You want to wait so that the dissolved solids in the water settle to the bottom of the flask. It is impossible to determine the density of water below 20 °C with plastic beakers and cylinders so you need to wait for the water to warm up. It's not that important, we just want to stretch out the time of the experiment.
