Aim: To separate a water from a coke in a solution using distillation.
Equipment: A solution of saltwater,conical flask heatproof mat, a delivery tube and bung,bung burner,tripod,gauze mat,retort stand ,boss head and clamp, boiling tube.
Method: 1. Set up the equipment as shown in the diagram.
2. Add approximately 50 ml of saltwater to your conical flask.
3. Light your Bunsen burner. Open the air hole and gently push the Bunsen burner the tripod.
4.Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated.Turn off your Bunsen burner.
Result: The result is vapor was being collected from the conical flask and transferred in to test tube and condenses back into a liquid.
1. Heating one liquid till it evaporated
2. Evaporation / condensation
3. crude oil is a mixture of a large number of compounds (mainly hydrocarbons). Thethick, gooey liquid is of little use to anyone in this form. At an oil refinery, the various hydrocarbons are separated into mixtures of compounds with similar boiling points. This is done by a process called fractional distillation.
Hi Rojan, I really like the information you found out about fractional distillation, a great example of how distillation is useful. Next time I would like you to blog in your own words however, your method is incorrect because we used Coke instead of Salt water.
