Steam distillation is a process used to separate a compound that contains immiscible liquids. Because these organic substances are insoluble, the distillate from the steam distillation process will be turbid at the beginning of the process.

What is water that is muddy and dark from particles?

turbid


What observations must be made in order to identify a mixture as a colloid?

Observations that can help identify a mixture as a colloid include: the particles do not settle on standing, the mixture appears homogeneous, and the particles are larger than those found in a solution but smaller than in a suspension.


How do the particles in the water change from the morning to the afternoon?

In the morning, particles in water may settle as temperatures cool, leading to clearer water. During the afternoon, sunlight and warmer temperatures can stir up particles, making the water more turbid. This cycle of settling and stirring can be influenced by weather patterns and water flow.


Explain why during the recrystallization of p-dibromobenzene the turbidity of the hot solution was used as an indicator for the ratio of ethanol to water used?

ethanol alone is not a good solvent for this substance recrystallization and the compound has a very low solubility in hot or cold water.so ethanol and water are mixed together as solvent for crystallization of p-dibromobenzene that is soluble in the hot solvent mixed.so the turbidity of the hot solution shows the good mixture of ethanol and water as solvent.


What is the principle of hay's test?

Hay's test is a rapid qualitative test used to detect the presence of bile salts in the urine, which can indicate liver dysfunction or obstruction of bile flow. The principle of the test is based on the ability of bile salts to form a precipitate when mixed with sulfosalicylic acid, which results in a turbid appearance.
