Simple and Fractional Distillation
Introduction:
The objective of this experiment was to use a common method of separation distillation. Distillation can be used in purifying or separating liquids, when the liquid if heated the more volatile component, the molecule with the lower boiling point, vaporizes and can be condensed. This type of separation will work efficiently when the feed mixture has a decent range between the boiling points of the components. The relationship between component’s vapor pressure to the composition of the solution is Ptotal==P1+P2, Raoult’s Law. This can be used with Dalton’s Law of partial pressure, …show more content…

Experimental: Heat to boiling point of Cyclohexane Heat to boiling point of Toluene

My lab partner and I performed Fractional Distillation
Fractional Distillation Procedure In conical vial add 7 mL stock solution and boiling stones. Set-up the distillation kit, including the fractionating column. Connect the sand bath to a regulator and heat the sand bath on 40%. Collect cyclohexane in a graduated cylinder, until the temperature dropped and there was no more condensate. Raise the temperature of the sand bath, regulator on 60%. Collect toluene.
