Cheryl Baclit Chem 234 Experiment 4: Steam Distillation Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to extract Eugenol from Cloves using steam distillation as a purification technique and to transfer Eugenol from the aqueous phase to the MeCl2 phase. With steam distillation‚ the boiling point of a mixture of immiscible liquids is lower than the boiling points of the individual components. Water from the steam is one of the components of an immiscible liquid mixture. The vapor pressures of

water and Methylene blue solution and leave it undisturbed. The blue solution turned clear and when we added the yellow food coloring it turned an orange color. The solution then turned dark blue once the solution was shaken vigorously. This reaction occurred because the oxygen oxidized the methylene blue.In the oxidized state the methylene blue shows a deep blue color this corresponds with what happened first in our lab when the materials where mixed. In the reduced state methylene blue turned

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

This lab will help guide you in the direction to predict the regioselectivity and activation vs. deactivating powers of the nitro-group. Gas Chromatography will be used to analyze compounds that can be vaporized without being decomposed. GC is also used to check the purity of a substance‚ and separating the

Fractional Distillation & Gas Chromatography Exp. 1 Pre-Lab: 1) When two substances whose molecules are very similar from a liquid solution‚ the vapor pressure of the mixture related to vapor pressure of the pure substance. Also it could be defined as a two liquid are ideal solution when they don’t react with each other and they make no association. 2) Are a mixture of at least two different liquid‚ and known also as a mixture of two or more liquid in such away that its component

Comparing between the simple and fractional distillation‚ the fractional distillations for both n-propanol and acetone provided a better distillation. The data and graphs support the statement since the fractional graphs provided a steeper slope than the simple distillation. The steeper slope represent how fast the mixture are separated throughout the distillations. For example‚ the simple distillation for acetone the slope initially started at about 20 mL at about 65.5℃ and ended at about 30 mL

Distillation of Alcoholic Beverages Pamela Mallari*‚ Symon Manuel‚ Katherine Merene and Charlene Mondelo Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Distillation is a physical process used to separate chemicals from a mixture by the difference in how easily they vaporize. This experiment aims to (1) compare the efficiency of simple and fractional distillation‚ (2) distill and calculate the % of ethanol and (3) determine the % loss in distillation. Two

In experiment 5‚ distillation method was used to divide hexane and toluene from a mixture (50:50) of hexane and toluene. Hexane was separated from toluene and was observed from the gas chromatography‚ it showed that hexane increased from 0.0.873 to 0.886 moles. Once the mixture of toluene and hexane hit 70 degrees in the experiment‚ the distillate was used for the gas chromatography. Hexane was higher in the distillate stage. The first drop of condensation appeared at 79°C. The volume of the distillate

this experiment was to separate Toluene and Hexane by distillation and gas chromatography based on their difference in boiling points. The boiling point of hexane is 69 degrees Celsius and the boiling point of toluene is 110 degrees Celsius. Three fractions were collected for both simple and fractional distillation. The first fraction was hexane since it had the lower boiling point. The second fraction was a mixture of toluene and hexane. The third fraction was toluene since it had the high boiling

Fractional distillation was used in this experiment. This is one of two ways for distillation‚ the other being simple distillation. However‚ with a simple distillation‚ the difference of boiling points between the substances must be more than 40 to 50 degrees C. A fractional distillation column is needed in a fractional distillation. The column in a fractional distillation column provides a temperature gradient where the temperature is lower at the top of the column and the temperature is greater
