The process of distilling volatile solids is called?

The process of distilling volatile solids is called SUBLIMATION.Physically speaking drying and evaporation (freeze-drying) are other possible names for the phase change of solid to gas


How do you detect sodium chloride solids in water?

Methods are: - by determination of sodium - by determination of chlorine - using a salinometer


Difference between total solid and total volatile solid?

Total solids (TS) is the total amount(sum) of organic and inorganic solid materials that are suspended and those that are dissolved. Total volatile solids( VS) are organic compounds of animal and plant origin. Total solids is therefore composed of VS and Fixed solids.


Why distillation cannot be done with volatile solids dissolved in liquids?

The volatile solids will have a vapor pressure at the boiling point of the liquid which means some of that solid will vaporize and go thru the distillation process with the liquid. When condensed you will not get a pure liquid.

What happens to particle in liquid water when the water boils into steam?

Assuming they are non-volatile, solids in liquid water will remain in the water when it boils. This is the process of distillation, where the solids and non-volatile matter is separated from the water, and is left behind as the water evaporates off.


What kind of bond creates volatile liquids?

The nonpolar type of bonding results in more volatile compounds. Ionic and polar type of bondings are favoured in crystallic solids.(These would by hydrogen compounds with some carbon bonds. They can be vaporized before burning to produce some water.)The nonpolar type of bonding results in more volatile compounds. Ionic and polar type of bondings are favoured in crystallic solids.


What is the purpose of drying at constant weight in determination of total suspended solids?

The methods of analysis is necessary to be very reproducible; consequently the analysis protocol will be the same in all laboratories. Weighting before the elimination of water or other volatile compounds is an important source of errors. Weighting at constant weight is a general rule in analytical chemistry.

What temperature does cotton cloth combust?

Solids (like cotton) do not burn unless they release volatile organic compounds. It is these released volatiles that actually burn, not the solid itself.
