For the first part of the experiment the fractionating column was set up and a 25-mL sample of toluene and ethyl acetate was prepared and placed into a round beaker. The Bunsen burner was turned on and the mixture was heated to a boil. The vapor from the boiling mixture condensed in the condenser and was collected in a 50-ml graduated cylinder. As the first drop of substance was collected the temperature at that instant was recorded and corresponded with the first 1-mL of substance collected. For volumes 1-mL through 5-mL the amount was estimated as the substance filled the graduated cylinder. The mixture was heated until the graduated cylinder was filled up to 15-mL. For the second part of the experiment simple distillation was used. The process
Perform the following with three 0.05g samples of unknown and the following solvents: methanol, water and toluene
In this experiment, we used distillation to separate a mixture of cyclohexane and toluene. We used two types of distillation simple and fractional. The experiment was carried out by mixing the cyclohexane and toluene in a round bottom flask, and the mixture was heated to boiling (in sand bath) and vaporized. The vapor then condensed by the condenser where the water was running through to cool the vapor back to liquid. Since this was a mixture of two liquids, the temperature was continuously increasing throughout the process. The different boiling points of cyclohexane and toluene allows the separation to occur. Cyclohexane has a boiling point of 81 °C and toluene has a boiling point of 111 °C, since cyclohexane has a lower boiling point it
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 starts to boil out and collect in the Hickman still. GC measurements help us in determining how accurate our data is by making a graph of the amount of hexane and toluene in each fraction. Also this lab gives experience with semi-micro
The purpose of this lab was to see how certain substances; Naphthalene, Toulene, and and 2 unknowns (one liquid, one solid) react with 3 different solvents. To identify the two unknowns, testing needs to be done to find the density of both the liquid and the solid, determine the melting point of the solid, and the boiling point of the liquid. The Physical Properties of Pure Substances Table can then be used to compare the observed results with the accurate properties from the table. If testing is done correctly, accurate assumptions can be made to figure out what the unknown substances were.
First. We weight the 10-ml graduated cylinder and record the data for 37.87g. Then put 5ml isopentyl alcohol and weight it with the 10-ml graduated cylinder for 41.94g. So, we get the isopentyl alcohol weight is 4.07g. Then, we also weight 7ml glacial acetic acid and put it into the 10-ml graduated cylinder. We add 1-ml sulfuric acid and put it into the 10-ml graduated cylinder too. After we mix all of the liquid, we put a boiling stone in the flask. Next, we good connection device like the picture. Then heating under reflux. Before reflux, we should check it. First, we should wait until the liquid began to boil and the color was changing to brown. Then, continue to heat for 75 minutes. After 75 minutes, we stop it. And we need to cool the liquid to the room temperature. Then we ready 10ml ice water to cool the liquid. After cooling it, we put the liquid in the separatory funnel. And we should add 5ml saturated aqueous sodium to separate it. After first separate it. Then add 5ml saturated aqueous sodium chloride to separate it. Then transfer the liquid to a 25-ml round-bottom flask. After one week, we first weight the sample mass. Then put our sample to another group’s graduated cylinder. And weight the combine mass. Then put the sample into a distillation unit. To begin the distillation and record the boiling point range. And we should also weight the mass after distillation. We can calculate the percentage yield.
The purpose of the experiment was to distill cyclohexane from the toluene using to methods: simple distillation and fractional distillation. Distillation is a technique used to purify volatile liquids. Distillation involves boiling the impure liquid, condensing the vapor, and collecting pure fraction of the liquid. The mixture is heated to its boiling point where the liquid is converted into vapor, and once the boiling points are different the components can be separated by distillation.1 Fractional distillation can be effective when trying to separate volatile experiments that have similar boiling points. Fractional distillation can complete many simple distillations in one apparatus. A distillation column was used in the fractional distillation
The table shows the temperature Vs. volume for both the simple and fractional distillations of Cyclohexane and Toluene Graph 1 Graph one. This graph shows temperature Vs. volume of both simple and fractional distillations of Cyclohexane and Toluene. This graph also shows the boiling points of the two liquids allowing a person to see where both liquids start and
A simple distillation was carried out involving a 30 mL pre-mixed solution of methanol and 2-pentanol in order to separate the two compounds by taking advantage of the differing boiling points. Since methanol has a lower boiling point at 64.7°C, compared to 2-pentanol’s boiling point of 119.3°C, it distilled off first. Through the use of the apparatus we set up, the solution was heated on a hot plate, the vapor that came up was cooled by the condenser into a liquid and flowed down into the receiver. Temperature was recorded for every 2 mL of distillate collected. In addition, three 10 mL distillate fractions were collected to be analyzed through gas chromatography. The purpose of gas chromatography analysis was analytical for this specific
Prior to beginning the procedure, a distillation setup was constructed in order to prepare for a later step in the procedure; a diagram of the construction was included in Figure 1.A. In a clean 50-mL Erlenmeyer flask, 5 mL of water were placed, and, with extreme caution, 4.0 mL (8.0 g, 0.08 mol) of concentrated sulfuric acid were added to the flask while swirling; it was emphasized that this acid can be highly corrosive and should be handled with care, especially while pouring it into the water1. It was observed that the flask began to heat up as the acid was added, and began to release a gas for a brief moment. Afterwards, the diluted acid was allowed to cool to about room temperature and 3.2 mL (3.0 g, 0.030 mol) of cyclohexanol were added to the mixture. The contents of the flask were carefully transferred to a 25 mL round-bottom flask that was attached to the distillation setup. The contents were distilled at a steady pace, making sure that all the junctions and flasks were clasped appropriately in order to avoid any accidents. The distillation was allowed to continue until the liquid found in the starting flask turned black and began to emit a white gas. It was noted that at around 53 °C distillate began to form, and at around 92 °C the liquid turned black. Approximately 2.8 mL of distillate
Distillation is the process of which liquid is changed into it’s vapor state which in turn is changed by condensing the vapor back to the liquid state. This process is used to separate and purify liquids. The process begins a distillation apparatus. After the evaporation process begins and ends, the vapor will have evaporated while the purified substance will condense with cool water. In this lab, the purpose is to separate two liquids, cyclohexane and toluene or cyclohexane and p-xylene. During the process, the volume and temperature were recorded at each milliliter. This would show the different boiling points. Then using gas chromatography, we would be able to identify the correct peak. If the difference between the
To prevent the NaOH from absorbing water from the air the initial temperature (t1) was obtained and recorded in the table. After the initial temperature was recorded from the bottom left of the screen of the Netbook, the 2.052 grams of NaOH solid were added to the cup and stirred. The data collection began after selecting Collect. Until the solution reached a peak temperature and began to drop the solution was stirred occasionally with a stirring rod being sure not the hit the temperature probe. Afterwards, the maximum temperature (t2) and the seconds it took to reach the maximum temperature was recorded in results chart. Figure 9.2 Sample: Temperature vs. Time Graph for Reaction 1 was used to confirm the initial and final temperature (t1 and t2). The metal rod of the temperature probe and the cup was rinsed wa DI water and dried. The chemicals were then disposed of safely and properly. The steps for reaction two then began. File then New were selected to reset. The same steps were then followed starting at starting at the placement of the cup into the beaker down through confirming the initial and final temperature. Some changes were made for reaction
“Molar Mass of a Volatile Organic Liquid” lab is focused on determining the unknown substances correct label. During the lab, 3 separate Erlenmeyer flasks were filled with the same unknown clear colourless solution #3 from the back of the lab located under the fume hood. In each of the beakers it was observed to ensure that only 2ml of the unknown solvent was placed into each of the Erlenmeyer flasks. Once the unknown solvents were prepared, the hot water baths are needed to be observed to ensure that 200mL or enough distilled water was placed to fully encapsulate the Erlenmeyer flask. Both of the flasks were placed in the water at approximately the same time. After about 10 minutes, it was witnessed that the water has come to a boil due to
Discussion The purpose of this experiment was to produce ethanol through fermentation of sucrose. Once the solution had fermented for a week, it was subjected to fractional distillation to remove the ethanol from the supernatant. As seen in Table 1, while the first fraction contained a moderate concentration of ethanol, the second and third fractions did not contain any ethanol at all. This can be attributed to the fact that there was little to no ethanol in the supernatant obtain from the fermentation solution.
The purpose of this lab is to identify the unknown volatile liquid, by finding its molar mass and comparing it to the known molar masses. There are two ways to identify a possible molar mass, and they are to use the Kjeldahl method or the Dumas method (Simmone, Simmone, Eitenmiller, Mills & Cresman, 1997).
The first part of this experiment was to determine the individual concentrations of the reactants. In order to do
