this experiment‚ a mixture of two compounds‚ cyclohexane and toluene‚ was separated into fractions by the techniques of simple and fractional distillation. The individual fractions that were gathered from the distillation were analyzed using gas chromatography (GC) and used to compare the efficiencies of the two different distillation techniques. The ultimate goal of this experiment was to determine whether simple or fractional distillation was the more efficient means of separating volatile compounds

DISTILLATION- SEPARATION OF A MIXTURE Ronald Ogbu‚ Alex 27th Aug. 2013 Purpose: To separate mixture of acetone and toluene using simple‚ packed and unpacked distillation columns. Results and Discussion: There were three distillation setups: simple‚ unpacked and pack fractional. All three procedures had different distillation apparatus but the unknown mixture was the same for all. The unknown liquid in a 50 ml round bottom flask was heated in a heating mantle such that a

four steps. The basicity had to be tested to check and see whether the unreacted Benzoic acid was removed. Finally‚ the excess water had to be removed as well to achieve a pure dichloromethane organic layer that would be used for simple distillation. The distillation apparatus separated the dichloromethane from the methyl benzoate by difference in temperature. The Methyl Benzoate could only be achieved when the temperature climbed to 198-199 Celsius. The product will be obtained if the steps are taken

Data and Conclusions: The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to use distillation and gas chromatography to separate and identify different compounds from a given mixture. There are several kinds of distillation methods. However‚ the method that we used in this experiment was fractional distillation. This method is used when trying to separate two different volatile compounds whose boiling points differ by 40-50°C or more. If the boiling points are too close‚ this method

The Distillation of an Unknown Compound INTRODUCTION Distillation is the process heating a liquid to form vapor which is then collected when cooled and separated from the original liquid. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the identity of an unknown substance using simple and fractional distillation. Gas chromatography analysis the components of a mixture by separation of the materials by their different boiling points. EXPERIMENTAL The simple distillation apparatus was assembled

2. From the plots of the boiling point versus the volume of distillate in the simple distillation experiments‚ what can you conclude about the purity of your product? Product not very pure. No distinct line to know when one begins and one ends. Distillation of cyclohexane and toluene crossed over into the other’s range. Would need to perform more distillations to better purify the solvents. 5. What is the effect on the boiling point of a solution (e.g. water) produced by a soluble non-volatile

1.4 Methods of Extraction of Essential Oils Following are the methods used to extract essential oils from aromatic and medicinal plants: • Hydrodistillation: For the isolation of essential oils by Hydrodistillation‚ the aromatic plant substances are packed in a still and a sufficient amount of water is added and brought near to a boil. Due to the influential effect of hot water and steam‚ the essential oil is unbounded from the oil glands present in the plant tissue. The combination of water

Biotechnology‚ Mapua Institute of Technology [pic] ABSTRACT The purpose of this experiment is to prepare cyclohexene form cyclohexanol‚ and know the properties of alkene. The first part of this experiment is preparation of cyclohexene. Simple distillation set-up is assembled. (See Figure 1). Exactly 6.0mL of cyclohexanol is weighed in a quick-fit one-necked pear shaped flask. 1.50mL of 85% H3PO4 is measured using the 2mL pipet and added to the weighed cyclohexanol. Another 0.25mL of concentrated
