Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 10.19 Organic preparation and purification
Identify each apparatus component and its purpose, use density to assign separating-funnel layers and connect every setup error to product loss, safety or measurement bias.
How this is tested
- Distinguish reflux from distillation and correct condenser, thermometer and receiver setup.
- Assign aqueous and organic layers from density, then vent and drain a separating funnel safely.
- Choose an anhydrous drying agent and use boiling temperature to judge product purity.
