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…

Raquel Cancho Alysia Gauby Camila Moraes Alejandro Rivera Simple and Fractional Distillation of a Binary Mixture Introduction In this lab, we performed a simple and fractional distillation to separate two volatile (able to vaporize) compounds, cyclohexane and toluene. Distillation is the process that separates compounds based on their different boiling points. In this process, the compounds are heated in a closed container until their molecules vaporize. The vapors are then…

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…

Fractional Distillation and Gas Chromatography Lab Report Introduction: 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…

Introduction: Steam distillation is a process used often in chemistry to extract a particular component of a mixture at a temperature above the temperature where the substance starts to degrade. As a homogeneous mixture is cooled while being exposed to a component in gaseous form, the partial pressures of the parts (hypothetical pressure of a gas if it had the same volume as the total volume at the same temperature) increases over time. Extraction can occur when the sum of the partial pressures…

LAB REPORT I: FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION AND GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab is to investigate the processes that can be used to separate two volatile liquids in a mixture based on their chemical properties. This is accomplished by fractional distillation, which separates chemicals in a mixture by differentiating them by their boiling points at atmospheric pressure. Specifically in this lab, fractional distillation is used to separate an unknown mixture into its respective pure…
