How to collet the compound in the bottle flask ? If iam using the liquid sample.

[@kassandraaaa7528]

We extracted tamarind seed oil using ethanol and we are separating the two, how to know if the tamarind seed oil is already pure and has no traces of ethanol? We are using rotavap, Is there any clear indication if we should turn off the rotavap already?

Great video! Also, what is the water bath? Is it hot water to help with the evaporation process?

[@Penguinprof]

@@Penguinprof ok thank u

Great video, could you call this a distillation?

[@Penguinprof]

Strictly speaking, yes it is. In practice, no one calls it a distillation because in this case, what is evaporating is waste (usually in a distillation process, you COLLECT the compounds that evaporate from the mixture). The Swiss company Büchi came up with this idea in 1957 (and made a fortune!)

Once I forgot to turn vaccum off after I used it and the pressure stole my product. It was a little embarassing, but it must have looked kinda funny to my colleagues :D
