Extraction refers to a division process containing the division of a component from a medium. A few examples of the same are liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction. The form of extraction in which contaminants are removed from the medium consisting of a certain compound is called washing. Extraction is used in everyday activities, which are

Purification Techniques The purification techniques of organic compounds is a necessary process after their extraction from their natural source or synthesis in the laboratory. Methods of purification of organic compounds mainly depend on the basic nature of the compound and also on the impurities in it. The purity of an organic compound is detected by

The most important procedures are the preparation of aspirin, the recrystallization of aspirin, and the determination of the melting point of aspirin. To make aspirin, acetic anhydride is added to a measured amount of salicylic acid, which is then dried. To bring the reaction to a close, sulphuric acid is introduced and briefly heated. What

Introduction Method of Kjeldahl The Kjeldahl method was invented by a Danish chemist named Johan Kjeldahl in 1883 and was the first method to be used in the field. In order to determine the nitrogen content of organic and inorganic substances, this method was developed specifically for that purpose. Currently, Kjeldahl nitrogen determinations are used

The denser component of the mixture flows away from the shaft in this operation, while the lighter component moves towards it.  Since churning is excessively quick and less time-consuming, this method is most commonly utilised. The container carrying the mixture
