Interpretation:
The conclusion about the homogeneity of the distillate in the fractional distillation of ethanol-water mixture should be determined. Also, whether the mixture has a constant boiling point or not and is pure compound or not is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The fractional distillation is a technique that is used to separate various components or fractions from a mixture on the basis of their volatilities. The fractional distillation can be used if the boiling point difference between the components is less than
A mixture with uniform composition and properties throughout is called homogenous mixture.

- A student obtained a solid product in laboratory synthesis. To verify the identity of the solid, she measured the milting point and found that the material melted over a 12°C range. After it had cooled, she measured the melting point of the same sample again and found that this time the solid HUD a sharp melting point at the temperature that is characteristic of the desired product Why were the two melting points different? What was responsible for the change in the melting point?arrow_forwardExplain and sketch the Born-Mayer equation to determine the crystallization energy of NaCl and MgCl2arrow_forwardCalculate the weight of benzene codistilled with each gram of water and the percentage composition of the vapor produced during a steam distillation.

Each colour of ink will get carried a different distance by the water, allowing you to see all of the different inks. Try this with different colours to see what actually goes into a colour. This technique is called chromatography and can be used in chemistry to find out what is in an unknown mixture. II. Materials .Felt tip pens (non-washable) . Kitchen roll .A bowl or cup . Water • Scissors III. Health and safety • Make sure that you thoroughly clean any equipment after the experiment before using for food IV. Procedure Method 1 1. Take a sheet of kitchen roll and draw a simple picture with a non-washable felt tip pen. 2. Place the sheet over an empty bowl. This is to keep the paper from getting too wet. 3. Carefully add a few drops of water…arrow_forward
