2) Explain how the fractioning glass beads help to improve the separation of a mixture in the fractional distillation.
3) During the recrystallization, you conducted several steps: dissolving acetanilide in hot water, hot gravity filtration, cooling in ice bath, vacuum filtration and then transfering to a beaker for storage. Out of those steps, in which step do you think you lost more acetanilide? Explain why, how you lost it and what could you do to prevent that loss in future experiments. To answer question #3, please watch in Youtube any video of recrystallization of acetanilide, you will be able to identify all the steps that were listed.
