Interpretation Introduction

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 organic chemistry are as follows:

  • 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.
