other components of the mixture remain in their original phase until the most volatile substance has all boiled off. Only then does the temperature of the gas phase rises again until it reaches the boiling point of a second component in the mixture‚ and so on. The boiling point of a substance—determined by distillation—is a useful physical property for the characterization of pure compounds. At any given temperature a liquid is in equilibrium with its vapor. This equilibrium is described by the vapor

Goals The purpose of the lab experiment is to explore simple harmonic motion (SHM). We will accomplish this through the validation of harmonic calculations and ultimately creating a time piece (oscillator) Method In part A (Simple Pendulum) we will measure the effects of mass on the period of the pendulum. We will also calculate the period using small angular displacements and compare the results. We will also explore the effects on the period when the angular displacement is not “very small”
