One major observation made throughout this experiment was during the steam distillation. As the steam distillation started and the solution in the flask began heating‚ it was clear that too much stopcock grease was used around the glassware. The grease from the connecting ends of the three way connecting tube was melting and seeping into the clove and water solution in the two necked round bottom flask. The solution in the flask was immediately discarded and repeated with clean glassware and a very

Crude oil is also made up of mixtures of several other substances such as benzene‚ chromium‚ iron‚ mercury‚ nickel‚ nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ sulphur‚ toluene‚ and xylene. This mixture results in a dark‚ yellow‚ greasy liquid. Within crude oil‚ there are many different types of fuel that are used for different objects‚ depending on the
