1 Why is the separation of two liquids better if the distillation is carried out at a slow rate rather than at a fast rate? 2 Why does the water enter the condenser at the lowest point and leave from the highest point? 3 Why is it dangerous to carry out a distillation in a sealed system with no vent to the atmosphere?

Referring to the Al-Si Eutectic diagram discussed on the Phase Diagrams-Lever Rule handout, calculate the mass fraction of the phase, silicon, given a sample with 51.7 wt% aluminum at 576.99 ˚C.
1. The entire mercury bulb of the thermometer must be below the level of the side arm in order to obtain an accurate reading of the distillation temperature. Why is this so?2. Why is cold water circulated through the condenser from the bottom rather than from the top?4. In most distillations, the total volume of liquid obtained (distillate + residue) is not equal to the volume of the mixture introduced into the flask. What are the possible sources of loss in this procedure?
Why is it necessary to immerse the flask both in hot and cold water for 5 minutes before taking the temperature? The water levels inside and outside the flask when it was submerged in cold bath must be equal before the flask is removed.
The best liquid mixtures for separation by simple distillation need to have boiling points that differ by at least ___________ oC. 10 20 30 40
TRUE OR FALSE: 1. Solids such as naphthalene when heated will pass thru a process called condensation prior to sublimation when being purified. 2.If water and n-propyl alcohol were mixed, the separation of individual components is possible with steam distillation because these two have a wide range of boiling point difference. 3. When an impurity in the synthesized camphor such as sodium chloride is present, the sublimation technique cannot be used to purify the camphor due to the nature of NaCl. 4. Organic solvents such as hexane or ether are an excellent medium to recrystallize an impure benzoic acid 5. In caffeine extraction, it is important that the tannic acid component of coffee be converted to its free acid state to avoid any interference with the extraction of caffeine
The table below shows temperature/composition data collected for a mixture of methylbenzene (M) and octane (O) at 1 atm. Recall that x stands for the mole fraction in the liquid and y stands for the mole fraction in the vapor in equilibrium. The boiling points for methylbenzene (M) and octane (O) are 110.60C and 125.60C, respectively. Construct the phase diagram with Temperature vs. xM. What is the composition of the vapor in equilibrium with the liquid of composition (a) xM = 0.250 and (b) xO = 0.250.

During the microscale boiling-point determination of an unknown liquid, heating was discontinued at 154°C and the liquid immediately began to enter the inverted bell. Heating was begun again at once, and the liquid was forced out of the bell. Heating was again discontinued at 165°C, at which time a rapid stream of bubbles emerged from the bell. On cooling, the rate of bubbling gradually diminished until the liquid reached a temperature of 161°C and entered and filled the bell. Explain this sequence of events. What was the boiling point of the liquid?
Why is it extremely dangerous to attempt to carry out a distillation in a completely closed apparatus (one with no vent to the atmosphere)?
TRUE OR FALSE __________ 11. The minimum number of centrifuge tubes in a centrifuge machine during its operation is one. __________ 12.

To transfer a solution, the stirring rod touches the delivery point of the reagent vessel and the wall of the receiving vessel. __________ 14. An open flame is the heat source for heating or evaporating flammable liquids. __________ 15. Most chemicals used in experiments can be discarded into the sink.
