Title: Distillation of an Ethanol Using Fractional Distillation Lab Report Abstract: This experiment aimed to separate the components of a mixture using Fractional Distillation. A volume of 28.0mL of a mixture including ethanol was heated until the temperature reached 78.0 C. Approximately 1.0mL of distillate was collected between 78.0 – 84.0 C. Percent composition by weight of the 1.0mL sample was determined to be 95% ethanol. By careful and accurate techniques‚ a high percent composition

1 Section 2 – 12:30 to 2:20 Distillation and Fractional Distillation Distillation and Fraction Distillations Purpose: The purpose of distillation is to purify a liquid. 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

Speech Good morning Today we will tell u about the transportation of water and minerals in plants. The plants absorb water and minerals from the ground through roots. These nutrients are transported to various parts of the plant like stem‚ leaves and flowers. The phenomenon of upward movement of water and minerals is called ascent of sap. Only a small quantity of water is used up in metabolic process and growth of the plant. The plants require water and mineral salts for making food by process

Steam generation cannot be improved after 55 percent or is not 100-- efficient. Steam generation controls over half of the developed world’s power. Steam power plants use a boiler in which high efficiency typically greater than 90% on the higher heating value. Some manufacturers claim that 98 can be achieved. Steam generation controls over half of the developed world’s power. Steam powerplants are dated back to well over 150 years. Ships have utilized the efficiency of boilers and there

SMALL-SCALE PRODUCTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS Essential oils are the volatile oils distilled from aromatic plant materials. The odour and flavour of these oils is usually dependent upon these oxygenated compounds. Many oils are terpenoids‚ a few oils are benzene derivatives. Table 1 shows the important constituents of the more common essential oils. Name Part of plant used Leaf Botanical name Important constituents Uses Lemongrass and citronella Eucalyptus Cymbopogon spp Citral

Steam Engines A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. Using boiling water to produce motion goes back about 2000 years‚ but early devices were not practical. Since the late 1700’s steam engines have become a major source of mechanical power. The first steam-powered devices were used to pump water out of mines. In 1781‚ James Watt patented a steam engine that produced continuous rotative motion. These engines enabled a wide range of

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Jaybee Balilea‚ Sharmaine Baysic‚ and Maria Anjelette Patricia Belen 3BIO7‚ Department of Biology‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Extraction is a technique for isolating and purifying organic substances. In this technique‚ a solution is combined thoroughly with a second solvent that is immiscible with the first solvent. The solute is extracted from one solvent into the other because it is more soluble in the second solvent

EXPERIMENT 13： Extraction: Extraction with acid and alkali Objective 1. To recover the benzoic acid and p-dichlorobenzene from its mixture from its mixture by using acid-alkali extraction. 2. To determine the percentage recovery and melting point of the recovered benzoic acid and p-dichlorobenzene. Introduction Acid-base extraction is a process which purifying the acids and bases from mixtures based on their chemical properties. Acid-base extraction is performed to isolate the compounds and natural

Simple Distillation‚ Gas Chromatography: Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction This experiment gave us the opportunity to work with a variety of new procedures as well as practice procedures that are new to us within the past few weeks of labs. Within the context of the scenario‚ we find that a distilling company that markets a popular banana liqueur is having problems. The banana plantation that they use to create their banana extract was hit hard by a hurricane and their reserves
