a)
Interpretation: Effect on observed temperature if thermometer bulb is placed below condenser should be determined.
Concept introduction: Distillation is technique that is used to separate components of liquid mixture with help of selective boiling and condensation. This procedure either separates components partially or completely from mixture. It is one of physical process to separate mixtures and not by

- 1. Explain the importance of using a thermometer in the simple distillation setup? 2. Enumerate the characteristics of a substance for it to be separated from the heterogeneous mixture by steam distillation? Please explain well and don't copy from googlearrow_forward1-propanol, 2-propanol, and 1-butanol all have boiling too close together to be separated using the simple distillation column. What equipment be used to separate a mixture of these three?arrow_forwardWhy is it dangerous to carry out a distillation in a sealed system with no vent to the atmosphere?arrow_forward
- Why should the bulb of the thermometer be placed below the side arm of the distilling flask?arrow_forwardWhat are the differences between a simple distillation and steam distillation?arrow_forwardin fractional distillation, how do you tell which liquid is in which fraction and which fraction has a mix of liquids if you are trying to seperate cyclohexane and toluene?? what would the density and boiling point of the first fraction bearrow_forward
- Compare the simple distillation of pure hexane and binary mixture of hexane and toluene to that of a fractional distillation?arrow_forward1a. Use the given table to construct a temperature-composition diagram for cyclohexane Toluene mixture. Based on the plot, what is the composition of the distillate obtained by Simple distillation 20 mole percent cyclohexene and 80 mole percent toluene? Show your Work on the plot. 1b. Estimate the composition of the distillate of 20 mole percent of cyclohexane if the Distillation column had three theoretical plates.arrow_forwardWhy is it important that the cooling waterbbin a distillation apparatus enter the condenser jacket at the lower end and exit at the upper end ,and not vice versa?arrow_forward
- Use a temperature-composition diagram to explain why fractional distillation of two components is more easily accomplished if the components have boiling points that differ by 20C or more.arrow_forwardCompare simple and fractional distillation for the separation of HEXANE and TOLUENEarrow_forwardList and describe two methods that can used to improve the separation of a liquid mixture by fractional distillationarrow_forward
