Interpretation:
Dry powder, wet-chemical and dry-chemical fire extinguishers working functions have to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Solvents are used for many
The organic solvent is heated to boiling its vapour rise up the glassware and is condensed back to its liquid state using a water filled condenser. The repeated process of heating a solvent to boiling and condensing its vapour is known as reflux.
The moisture/air-free solvent is collected in the receiver flask, which may be removed for use via syringe. A nitrogen bubbler system is used to flush the solvent still with an inert gas to prevent moisture and oxygen from dissolving in the solvent, and prevent a build-up of pressure that would result in a dangerous explosion.
