Organic Practical Setup 6. Vacuum filtration & m.p. determination
In this video I look at how to isolate an organic solid from a suspension using vacuum filtration. I then move on to describe how the melting point can be determined and used assess the solid's purity. It is one in a series of short videos looking at the main organic practical techniques: heat & distill; reflux distillation; washing and drying in solvent extraction; recrystallisation and melting point determination; and others
