Hey, I'm thinking about doing this optional step and I've got a few questions.
- Will a vacuum pump like that work for both distillation and vacuum drying?
- Is it worth paying extra for this one instead? Will it actually make a noticeable difference in the procedure?
- Is using a separatory funnel way easier or more efficient than mixing the mixture in a beaker with a stirrer? I’m asking because ventilation here isn’t great so I wanna pick a method that produces fewer harmful fumes. [step 3]
- I assume that a magnetic stirrer would struggle with this amount of liquid and it’s better to use an overhead stirrer, right? Do you know any reasonably priced models that you can recommend?
- What exact reduced pressure values are we talking about? [step 4]
- Does the freezer temperature matter? Would setting it to -22°C instead of -18°C be beneficial in any way? [step 6]

Hello, the first one is more than enough.
>- Is using a separatory funnel way easier or more efficient than mixing the mixture in a beaker with a stirrer? I’m asking because ventilation here isn’t great so I wanna pick a method that produces fewer harmful fumes. [step 3]
What?? It's clearly said that you need separatory funnel. It's more convenient for handling.
>- I assume that a magnetic stirrer would struggle with this amount of liquid and it’s better to use an overhead stirrer, right? Do you know any reasonably priced models that you can recommend?
Anyone, you can even use even a screwdriver for this.
>- What exact reduced pressure values are we talking about? [step 4]
I can't say for sure, you need to increase vacuum and temperature slowly until it will start to boil.
>- Does the freezer temperature matter? Would setting it to -22°C instead of -18°C be beneficial in any way? [step 6]
I don't think that it is valuable
