Interpretation:
The reason for the seal to be broken in vacuum filtration before the flow of water to water aspirator is turned off should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Filtration is one of the purification methods used for purification of an organic liquid to make them free from solid impurities. The two kinds of filtration techniques used in
- Gravity filtration.
- Vacuum filtration.
Vacuum filtration is a technique of filtration used to separate solid product from liquid when the required compound is solid. Vacuum filtration is considered a fast and efficient method to filter. A Buchner's funnel or Hirsch funnel are utilized to create vacuum to suck the fluid through the filter in the vacuum filtration.
