Angelsuarrez Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Do I need to add a heating device inside vacuum chamber in order to accomplish evaporation or just put the chemical mixture inside. I noticed water and milk will boil, nitrogen will freezes but when they asked me to evaporate in vacuum this mean adding fire or heat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiveworlds Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) In a vacuum the temperature at which substances boil or become liquid decreases. Nitrogen will evaporate more rapidly than normal and this will have a cooling effect on the remaining nitrogen causing freezing.

Sensei Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Evaporation in vacuum? Do I need to add a heating device inside vacuum chamber in order to accomplish evaporation or just put the chemical mixture inside. I noticed water and milk will boil, nitrogen will freezes but when they asked me to evaporate in vacuum this mean adding fire or heat? Maybe they asked for "distillation at lower pressure" aka "vacuum distillation".. ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_distillation It's done with vacuum pump plugged to vacuum flask. And vacuum flask is typically heated from the bottom. Edited April 3, 2017 by Sensei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
