What are possible ways to determine whether you lost trimyristin during each step of the experiment.
So here's what I did:
Dissolved nutmeg with diethyl ether using reflux appartus, separated insoluble impurities, and evaporated the diethyl ether to isolate the trimyristin using distillation apparatus. Added acetone trimyristin solution and cooled in ice bath causing precipitation.
I'm not sure what experiments I could use to determine whether I lost TRI during each step
