Distillation

Steam Distillation is the process of distilling a mixture wherein one of the immiscible phases is a steam. It is a mild method for separating and purifying volatile liquid or solid organic compounds that are immiscible or insoluble in water. This technique is not applicable to substances that react with water, decompose on prolonged contact with steam or hot water, or have a vapor pressure of less than about 5 torr at 100°C. One way to perform steam distillation is through the live steam method

Distillation is the process of separating components from a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation, utilizing the different volatility of each substance (Wikipedia, Distillation, 2015). It can result in complete separation or partial separation (which increases the concentration of selected components) (Massachusetts, University of, 2015). The two types that were examined in this lab was simple distillation and fractional distillation. Raoult’s Law also plays an important factor

Distillations are use to purify contaminates out of water to obtain clean pure water, as well as, to separate mixtures of liquids into their individual components; e.g. methanol and water. Objective: Distill methanol from water using a simple distillation apparatus and fractional distillation apparatus to determine which

chromatography (GC), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and mass spectrometry (MS). Experiments such as simple distillation helped purify the neat liquid, and fractional distillation helped separate and purify the binary mixture which included high boiler (HB) and low boiler liquid (LB). Simple distillation can be used effectively to separate liquids that have large boiling differences. Fractional distillation is used when the boiling point of two liquids

simple distillation, the distillate collected was not nearly as pure as Fractional distillation because Fractional distillation allows for additional distillation and purification of these liquid components due to the beads that act as theoretical plates. Also, in Simple Distillation, the boiling point of water was reached a littler earlier and this would have begun to

components using fractional distillation. Distillation is the act of heating and cooling liquids in order to obtain a pure sample. There are two main types of distillation: simple distillation and fractional distillation. Simple distillation is the most basic form of a distillation. This method is more helpful when the separation between a liquid and a solid needs to happen or between two liquids with boiling points that have a difference of about 50°C or higher. Fractional distillation is similar to simple

25ml of an unknown alcohol will be purified using fractional distillation, the unknown alcohol will begin to boil when heated, until it reaches its boiling point, distillate will be collected. The temperature of this alcohol will be recorded and will be analyzed to the literature boiling point values of the substances listed below. the unknown alcohol will slowly begin to boil and reflux will begin to form, the temperature will slowly increase as the phase changes from liquid into vapor with additional

Aim: Learn how the process of distillation occurs. Observe how distillation separates alcohol from wine. Method: Distillation is based on the fact that the matter can exist in three phases - - solid, liquid and gas. As the temperature of a pure substance is increased, it passes through these phases, making a transition at a specific temperature from solid to liquid (melting point--mp) and then at a higher temperature from liquid to gas (boiling point--bp). Distillation involves evaporating a liquid
