Why is it important that a drop of condensate be suspended from the thermometer during a distillation?

1 answer:

6 0

Distillation is the process of separation in which the volatile parts of a liquid mixture are separated by selective boiling and condensation. This process may lead to partial separation or complete separation. Distillation is employed for a considerable number of commercial processes such as the production of alcohol, kerosene gasoline, etc. During a distillation, it is important that a drop of condensate be suspended from the thermometer because it allows steady distillation and a stable temperature.

What are the relationships that are present between the frequency, wavelength, and amplitude of a wave?

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. Such that longer waves have lower frequencies, and shorter waves have higher frequencies. The amplitude or height of a wave is measured from the peak to the trough.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Aldehyde has C=O bonded to atleast one H atom while Ketone has C=O bonded to two carbon atoms

Aldehyde - galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose

Ketone - Trioses, Tetroses, Pentoses, Hexoses

Explanation:

Similarity

Both the aldehyde and ketone have C=O group

Difference

In aldehye the C=O group require atleast one hydrogen atom or the functional group in aldehyde is -CHO

while in ketone the function group is C=O only that is bonded to two carbon atoms.

Example

Aldehyde - galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose

Ketone - Trioses, Tetroses, Pentoses, Hexoses
