Q.30 Once an organic compound is extracted from a natural source or synthesized in the
laboratory, it is essential to purify it. Various methods used for the purification of organic
compounds are based on the nature of the compound and the impurity present in it. Finally,
 the purity of a compound is ascertained by determining its melting or boiling point. This is
one of the most used techniques for the purification of solid organic compounds. In
crystallization Impurities, which impart colour to the solution are removed by adsorbing over
activated charcoal. In distillation Liquids having different boiling points vaporize at different
temperatures. The vapours are cooled and the liquids so formed are collected separately.
Steam Distillation is applied to separate substances which are steam volatile and are
immiscible with water. Distillation under reduced pressure: This method is used to purify
liquids having very high boiling points.

point? (1)
