The Distillation of Color Dye and Ethanol Using a Hand Boiler
Objectives of this experiment included determining whether ethanol can be separated by distillation leaving a concentrated dye powder behind, driven by the heat of your hand and learning the process of distillation from the hand boiler.
The procedure of this experiment started out by taking a hand boiler and beginning to warm up the bottom bulb with your hands, trying your best to transfer as much of the colored ethanol solution into the larger bulb as possible. After, with the boiler inverted, place the smaller bulb into a cup of ice water and let it sit for 10 – 20 minutes, allowing distillation to occur.
My observations in this experiment included the different colors of
Use ice if you need to. Then, fill one beaker with 175 mL of water and the other with 350 mL. Warm the water in the 350mL beaker up to 55 degrees celsius and cool the water in the 175mL beaker to 15 degrees celsius, the same temperature as the pitcher because it will be your control group. Once the beaker that should be heated is at 55 degrees celsius, pour 175 mL of the water into a glove and pour the other 175 mL into a ziplock baggie. Pour the 15 degrees celsius, 175 mL of water into another ziplock baggie. Before you set these in water, have a stopwatch ready and make sure that the water in the baggies and glove is at the right temperature.
27. Heat the water to 40°C with an alcohol lamp by setting up the apparatus as shown in figure 3 below:
14 mL of 9 M H2SO4 was added to the separatory funnel and the mixture was shaken. The layers were given a small amount of time to separate. The remaining n-butyl alcohol was extracted by the H2SO4 solution therefore, there was only one organic top layer. The lower aqueous layer was drained and discarded. 14 mL of H2O was added to the separatory funnel. A stopper was placed on the separatory funnel and it was shaken while being vented occasionally. The layers separated and the lower layer which contained the n-butyl bromide was drained into a smaller beaker. The aqueous layer was then discarded after ensuring that the correct layer had been saved by completing the "water drop test" (adding a drop of water to the drained liquid and if the water dissolves, it confirms that it is an aqueous layer). The alkyl halide was then returned to the separatory funnel. 14 mL of saturated aqeous sodium bicarbonate was added a little at a time while the separatory funnel was being swirled. A stopper was placed on the funnel and it was shaken for 1 minute while being vented frequently to relieve any pressure that was being produced. The lower alkyl halide layer was drained into a dry Erlenmeyer flask and 1.0 g of anhydrous calcium chloride was added to dry the solution. A stopper was placed on the Erlenmeyer flask and the contents were swirled until the liquid was clear. For the distillation
The objective of this extraction experiment was to achieve a comprehensive understanding, as well as master the practice, of the technique of separating various individual components of a compound.
In this experiment, distillations were done. This is a technique that utilizes the differing boiling points of two or more compounds in a mixture in order to separate the compounds from the mixture. The way fractional distillation works is that the initial mixture is boiled up to the point of the lower boiling point compound; this compound then evaporates. This compound is then
Place the test tube containing cold water in a test tube clamp and hold the test tube above the burning alcohol. Observe the outside of the test tube for evidence of product formation.
The next step in this lab is to rinse the Erlenmeyer flask with distilled water down the drain and then repeat the experiment, this time adding 10 ml of 0.10M KI and 10 ml of distilled water to the flask instead. The flask should again be swirling to allow the solution to succumb to the same temperature as the water bath and once it has reached the same temperature, 10 ml of 3% H2O2 must then be added and a stopper must be immediately placed on the flask and recording should then begin for experiment two. After recording the times, the Erlenmeyer flask must then be rinsed again with distilled water down the drain. After rinsing the flask, the last part of the lab can now be performed. Experiment three is performed the same way, but instead, 20 ml of 0.10 ml M KI and 5 ml of distilled water will be added and after the swirling of the flask, 5 ml of 3% H2O2 will be added. After the times have been recorded, data collection should now be complete.
alcohol (2-methyl-2-butanol, MW _ 88.2, d _ 0.805 g/mL) and 25 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid (d _ 1.18 g/mL). Do not stopper the funnel. Gently swirl the mixture in the separatory funnel for about 1 minute. After this period of swirling, stopper the separatory funnel and carefully invert it. Without shaking the separatory funnel, immediately open
With the purpose of the experiment being to identify the 30 mL of unknown liquid, the theoretical basis of simple and fractional distillation must be deconstructed and applied to the data obtained describing the liquid in question.
1.) Transfer the distillate to separatory funnel. Fluid didn’t seem very clear but sufficient to finish our lab on time.
Distillation is a method of separating two volatile chemicals on the basis of their differing boiling points. During this lab, students were given 30 mL of an unknown solution containing two colorless chemicals. Because the chemicals may have had a relatively close boiling point, we had to employ a fractional distillation over a simple distillation. By adding a fractionating column between the boiling flask and the condenser, we were able to separate the liquids more efficiently due to the fact that more volatile liquids tend to push towards the top of the fractionating column, thereby leaving the liquid with the lower boiling point towards the bottom. After obtaining the distillates, we utilized a gas chromatograph in order to analyze the volatile substances in the gas phase and determine their composition percentage of the initial solution. Overall, through this lab we were able to enhance our knowledge on the practical utilization of chemical theories, and thus also demonstrated technical fluency involving the equipment.
The purpose of this experiment was to separate a two component mixture using fractional distillation. Distillation is a process of vaporization than condensation of a substance, used primarily to separate substances from a mixture when there are different boiling points. Fractional distillation is when the mixture has multiple substances with similar boiling points, and a fractional column is used to create multiple vaporization/condensation cycles. Fractional distillation is important when two or more substances need to be separated, but they have similar boiling points.
To start off the experiment, two of the black plastic containers were filled up with hot water and the other two were filled with cold water and set aside. Next, four of the plastic cups were used to pour the maple syrup and molasses in, two of them were filled with maple syrup and the other two were filled up with the molasses. Once the cups were all filled up one maple syrup cup was placed in the hot water container and the other one was placed in the cold water container. The same step happend to the molasses and they were left in there for a couple of minutes. After a couple of minutes one at a time, carefully the liquids were poured out and the time was recorded.
The mass of the distillate was obtained after fermentation and the fractional distillation was calculated to be 0.195 g. The distillate was collected in three fractions using a 1 mL syringe with a needle when the temperature reached approximately 78°C. The amount of ethanol that should have been produced was 1.08 g. However, this experiment only obtained 0.195 g of ethanol product. The percent yield was calculated to be only 18.12%, so only 18.12% of ethanol product was recovered from the fermentation reaction. The density of the distillate obtained from flask one was 1.03 g/mL, flask two was 0.979 g/mL and flask three was 0.99 g/mL. The distillate in all three flasks contained mostly water and only some ethanol because the percent recovery
An alcohol bath was prepared with an ethanol solution and dry ice, the solution was measured using a thermometer, at approximately -15˚ the bath was placed under a Polaroid filter and above a stable jar upon a white piece of paper. The capillary level holder with the frozen capillary tubes was placed carefully into the bath (at an angle to reduce effervescence). A lamp was placed 20 cm away from the setup and shone on the Polaroid filter. This setup ensured the ethanol solution didn’t heat up too rapidly.
