INTRODUCTION Distillation is a technique widely used in organic chemistry for separating compounds based on differences in their boiling points. The experiment is divided into two parts: simple distillation‚ an easy set-up where a solution or a mixture of substances with different volatility is separated through exposure heat; and fractional distillation‚ which under goes a series of evaporation and condensation process to purify more complex mixtures. Raoult and Dalton Law are the two principles

PCS125 Lab – The Simple Pendulum Objective and Background Objective: The Objective of this experiment is to examine the simple harmonic motion and to determine the value of the acceleration due to gravity from the analysis of the period of the simple pendulum. [1] Background: There are three equations that will be used to calculate the period of motion of the simple pendulum. They are the slope of the line of the graph of T² against L‚ and the gravity of the pendulum motion. The period of
