Answer:
The chemist can either:
a. Use a small fractionation apparatus.
b. Add a compound with a much higher boiling point.
Explanation:
Using a smaller fractionation apparatus or Vigreux column will help to minimize loss of the distillate.
If a compound with a higher boiling point is added, the vapors of this liquid will displace the vapors of this small amount of compound with a lower boiling point. This compound with a higher boiling point is known as a Chaser.
Answer:
KNO2, KBr
Explanation:
Chemical compounds are any substance composed of identical molecules consisting of atoms of two or more chemical elements. So NO2 and KBr are compounds, Br2 and Fe are not.
