Transactional Distillation Lab Report

Chemistry relates to everything we touch, see, smell, hear, and taste because atoms make up everything in the universe. Chemistry influences so much in our everyday lives that it is hard to think of an activity that does not involve a chemical process in some way. The science also plays a major role in the human body. Our bodies are made up of chemicals, in fact almost 96% of our body mass is made up of four different elements: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen. Besides the physical way I am affected by elements, chemistry also majorly affects me in my line of work as a certified nursing assistant. As a certified nursing assistant I work in a nursing home and

In paragraph two, it states "Pure water contains very few ions, so it does not conduct electricity well. When table salt is dissolved in water, the solution conducts very well, because the solutions contain ions.". In paragraph four, it explains how laundry ammonia can conduct electricity. It states "When ammonia dissolves in water, it reacts with the water and forms a few ions.". In conclusion, paragraph five explains more about how ammonia can cause electricity when it is put into a solution with vinegar.

The proof (twice the % alcohol) starts at its maximum and goes down (as the alcohol evaporates). If we start with a high concentration of alcohol, we will get the azeotrope (95% alcohol, 5% water) for a while, then the concentration will decrease.

Matter is often defined as mass that can be physically observed by the senses, it can be measured scientifically and is tangible , it could be said the material world unlike aspects of social worlds is less abstract and easier to define, for example a building which comprises of bricks, wood, metal and other materials built into a specific shape compared to a community which can relate to people of the same place or shared values or interests or all. That is not to say that matter just is, it too can have agency and varying meanings dependent upon the

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

1A. Matter is a type of vaporation of a liquid that appears from the surface of a liquid into a gassy period which is not soaked with the evaporating essence. Another type of vaporation is boiling, which is represented by bubbles of wet vapor in the liquid point.

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.

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.

In " Conducting Solutions" it tells you about energy moving through things. Pure water contains very few ions, so it does not conduct electricity very well. When table salt is dissolved in water, the solution conducts very well, because the solution contains ions. The ions come from table salt, whose chemical name is sodium chloride. Sodium chloride contains sodium ions, which have a positive charge, and chloride ions, which is have a negative charge.

Freezing is when a liquid turns into a solid. Melting is when a solid goes to a liquid. Evaporation is when liquid turns to gas. Sublimation is when a solid turns to a gas. Lastly, deposition is when a gas turns into a solid. A third way to classify matter is to tell if it is a pure substance or if it is a mixture. A pure substance has two types, whether it is an element or a compound. An element is just one single atom while a compound is two or more atoms, that create a molecule and are the same, bonded. A mixture is a mix of atoms and/or molecules, and/or pure substances. So for example, let's say you have oranges and apples in a bowl, that is considered a mix because they are not physically bonded together and they are not the same. This goes the same for a mixture, but on a molecular level. Mixtures are also determined if they are homogeneous or

As we’ve already stated in the definition, physics is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time. So first off, matter, the building block of the universe, is any substance which has mass and occupies space. All physical objects are composed of matter, in the form of atoms. Atoms are in turn made up of neutrons, protons, and electrons. Matter also exists in four states: solid, liquid and gas, and plasma; though there are more yet to be proven possible states. Also, all matter is capable of being converted to energy. You might have heard of E = mc2, that would be

Chemistry has been called the science of what things are. Its intent is the exploration of the nature of the materials that fabricate our physical environment, why they hold the different properties that depict them, how their atomic structure may be fathomed, and how they may be manipulated and changed.

The main objective of the distillation lab was to identify the composition of an unknown binary solution. The only known component is that the boiling point of the two components were at least 40˚C apart in boiling points. Due to the difference in boiling points, fractional distillation would be an easy way to determine the identity of each component of the binary solution. In the experiment, 30mL of the unknown binary solution was ran through the fractional distillation apparatus. As the solution boiled, gas from the unknown solution ran through the column, which had a temperature gradient to allow rapid and repeated distillations, and one of the components were isolated. By recording the temperature and amount of

Atoms are the building blocks for all living and non-living substances. All atoms of form a chemical element and when these elements are put together, in countless combinations, these atoms give all known forms of matter. Molecules are groups of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction. A compound is a substance that is formed with two of more atoms that a chemically bonded together. A mixture is a substance that is made up of two substances but the substances are not chemically bound.
