EXPERIMENT 7 - Distillation – Separation of a Mixture Purpose: a) To purify a compound by separating it from a non-volatile or less-volatile material. b) To separate a mixture of two miscible liquids (liquids that mix in all proportions) with different boiling points. Equipment / Materials: large test tubes(3) clamp (1 or 2) ringstand boiling chips test tube rack (1) heating mantle glass adaptor thermometer adaptor 10-mL graduated cylinder condenser (1 or 2) grease 50- mL round bottom flask 50-…

Organic Lab 1: Fractional Distillation Discussion: 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. Simple distillation is a separation technique which can be used to separate and purify distillates from a liquid mixture which ideally contains one volatile and one non-volatile compound. If such ideal conditions are…

Chem 2203 Sec 026 27/September/2013 Experiment 3B: Fractional Semi-microscale Distillation Separation of Hexane and Toluene. Objective: The main goal of this lab is to learn how separation of binary liquid mixtures is performed. Especially when the two liquids have boiling points varying by about 30° C. Hexane can be separated from toluene in this experiment because of the difference in their boiling points. Since toluene has a higher boiling point, it will left at the bottom while the hexane…

Distillation Abstract This report outlines the steps taken to separate a 50:50 by volume ethanol and isopropanol side stream. The resulting separation must contain no more than 3% alcohol impurity in each product. A laboratory column, run at total reflux, was utilized to scale up to a forty foot high by one foot diameter column. The laboratory column allowed the team to determine vapor velocities and HETP values for the 0.24 inch Pro-Pakq packing. HETP is defined as the height of packing…

eugenol in the basic aqueous layer, and acetyleugenol in the organic layer. The basic aqueous layer can be acidified to re-extract eugenol from it. And the organic layer can be dried and concentrated to yield acetyleugenol The principle of steam distillation is based on the fact that two immiscible liquids will boil at a lower temperature than the boiling points of either pure component, because the total vapor pressure of the heterogeneous mixture is simply the sum of the vapor pressures of the individual…

SIMPLE DISTILLATION OF VODKA (ANTONOV) Kristel Joy M. Tan, Joshua Michael L. Torres, Pauleen Anne S. Vanadero, Paulene Arielle P. Ynzon and Rachel Pauline E. Zaballero Group 10, 2D Medical Technology, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Santo Tomas ABSTRACT Distillation is the most common technique, it is a process wherein the liquid is separated from the solution by boiling the liquid solution and condensing the vapor in order to get the distillate. There are four kind of distillation: simple distillation…

Distillation is the process of separating components from a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation, utilizing the different volatility of each substance (Wikipedia, Distillation, 2015). It can result in complete separation or partial separation (which increases the concentration of selected components) (Massachusetts, University of, 2015). The two types that were examined in this lab was simple distillation and fractional distillation. Raoult’s Law also plays an important factor…

Simple Distillation, Gas Chromatography: Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction This experiment gave us the opportunity to work with a variety of new procedures as well as practice procedures that are new to us within the past few weeks of labs. Within the context of the scenario, we find that a distilling company that markets a popular banana liqueur is having problems. The banana plantation that they use to create their banana extract was hit hard by a hurricane and their reserves…

Description and Function Distillation column utilities in a way such that a mixture is separated into its component by heating the mixture to a temperature in which one or more of its component will evaporate and then is condensed and collected[1]. Types of distillation columns: There are different types of distillation columns [2]:  Simple distillation column[12] Simple distillation is when a liquid is boiled and the vapor moves up through the column until it reaches the condenser and is…

I. Boiling Points and Liquid Distillation II. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is for students to learn how to properly and accurately separate two liquid compounds, which have two different boiling points, using simple distillation. Then be able to calculate the density of the two samples after the distillation process to determine the success of the distillation process. III. Materials: 25 mL Hexane and Toluene in 1 to 1 ratio 10-mL Graduated Cylinder 50-mL round bottom flask Heating…
