Fractional distillation was performed in this lab to separate a mixture of two miscible liquids with a difference in boiling points of less than 40 C, and to predict their identities. After that, gas chromatography was used to confirm the identities of the two liquids in the unknown solution, and to obtain the ratio of the composition of the solution with respect to these two liquids. Distillation is a separation technique that relies on two substances having different boiling points, so that one evaporates and condenses in a separate flask. Simple distillation can be used for mixtures of solids and liquids, as liquids typically have lower boiling points than solids, or for mixtures of two liquids with a difference in boiling points greater …show more content…
Fractional distillation produces the same result as a series of simple distillations, which yield a more pure product after each consecutive distillation. In fractional distillation, a second condenser is added between the round bottom flask and the second condenser, and is used as a fractionating column in order to create a temperature gradient. The temperature is highest at the bottom of the column, where it is in contact with the round bottom flask, and lowest at the top of the column. As the vapors rise through the column, the vapors for the liquid with higher boiling condense as the temperature drops, and fall back into the boiling flask. The vapors from the liquid with the lower boiling point pass into the second condenser, and are condensed and collected in a flask or other vessel. After all the vapors of the first liquid are collected, the temperature on the boiling plate can be increased so the liquid with the higher boiling point passes through the column, and is collected in a separate vessel. The fractionating column can be packed with glass beads or other such materials to increase surface area for condensation, although that was not done in this experiment. The unknown solution was separated into three falcon tubes. Tube A contained mostly the lower boiling point liquid, B contains both liquids, and C contained mostly the higher boiling point
For this lab, zeolite and magnetized zeolite were synthesized and compared with charcoal to find out with would be the most effective in the sequestering of Procion Red dye. Finding the concentration and absorbance of each zeolite, magnetized zeolite, and charcoal, along with a calibration curve, the best adsorbent is determined. Charcoal was the overall best sequestration of the Procion Red dye, since the adsorbent was highest compared to the others. Introduction Pollution has increased in the environment over the years, so the purpose of this experiment is to find the best adsorbent of chemicals to reduce the pollution.
Next, about 10 mL of both solutions, Red 40 and Blue 1, were added to a small beaker. The concentration of the stock solution were recorded, 52.1 ppm for Red 40 and 16.6 ppm for Blue 1. Then, using the volumetric pipette, 5 mL of each solution was transferred into a 10 mL volumetric flask, labelled either R1 or B1. Deionized water was added into the flask using a pipette until the solution level reached a line which indicated 10 mL. A cap for the flask was inserted and the flask was invented a few times to completely mix the solution. Then, the volumetric pipette was rinsed with fresh deionized water and
And this leads to the conclusion that this substance found in the mixture is indeed sodium. Alcohol was also another substance found in the mixture. Its noticeable as it was most likely was fraction 1 in the fractional distillation lab. Sharing a boiling point with alcohol, alcohol being 82 degrees celsius, and fraction 1 being 83 degrees celsius (which i extremely close). The substance, fraction 1, was also as flammable as alcohol is , when testing its flammibility.

Filtering, evaporating, centrifuging, and decanting something will only physically change it. Chromatography is used to separate different parts of a solution so that it can be identified. It can work because different substances have different attractions to things. Distillation can separate substances, such as salt water, as long as it has different boiling points. It can even be used to purify salt water but it is not cost efficient or energy efficient so it is not suitable for everyday use.
Abstract In this experiment the separation of a copper (II) chloride and sodium chloride mixiture was attempted. The main aim was to separate the compounds from eachother while receiving as much of the original mass of both substances as possible - in perfect conditions the original mass will be received after seperation. Many techniques were considered but dissolution, filtration and evaporation proved to be easiest and most reliable in a school environment with school equipment. The copper (II) chloride and sodium chloride mixture was dissolved in a methanol solution and filtered out leaving the sodium chloride behind.
In the next steps the density of water between 30-40 °C, 40-50 °C and 50-60 °C was measured. Then our results ρ vs T and also density vs temperature values given in the Steam Tables were plotted on the same graph in order to compare. In the second part the density of water was measured by density bottle. The densities obtained from the experiment are 995, 992.5, 991, 990 kg/m3 for the first part and
The Effect of Alkaseltzer Tablets on the Boiling Point of Water Zackary Zambrano Chemistry Honors Mrs.Gregor Period-3 10/5/16 Introduction Statement of Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to see whether or not alkaseltzer tablets have an effect on the boiling point of 100 mL of water. The control is just water, the variable groups are 100 mL of water with one tablet, and 100 mL of water with two tablets. “What exactly is boiling? The technical definition is what occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid is greater than or equal to the atmospheric pressure. ”(Lopez,k) Simply put water, boils when enough energy is released to cause bubbles and then turn to vapor.
Jaspreet Singh Professor Paratore Biology 1 November 1, 2014 Spectrophotometry Identifying Solutes and Determining Their Concentration Statement of the Exercise or of the Problem The purpose of the lab experiment was to attain the following objectives: • Learning to Operate the Spectrophotometer • Construct absorption spectra for cobalt chloride and chlorophyll. Hypothesis If greater and higher concentrations of cobalt chloride are added to each solution then greater amounts of light would be absorbed by each solution. Thus a liner relationship will result in which the absorbance of a substance would be proportional to its concentration, which will be depicted, in a linear graph.
INTRODUCTION A gas chromatograph (GC) can be utilized to analyze the contents of a sample quantitatively or in certain circumstances also qualitatively. In the case of preparative chromatography, a pure compound can be extracted from a mixture. The principle of gas chromatography can be explained as following: A micro syringe is used to inject a known volume of vaporous or liquid analyte into the head or entrance of a column whereby a stream of an inert gas acts a carrier (mobile phase). The column acts as a separator of individual or chemically similar components.
The fractions in the fractional distillation such as N-hexane, isohexane, methyl cyclopentane have normal boiling point close to cyclohexane which makes the recovery of cyclohexane uneconomic and difficult. 2. Quantity of cyclohexane recovered is not enough to meet the current demand since the cyclohexane content of naphtha is about 5%- 15% by weight .3 Selection of Pathway to Cyclohexane (2) Hydrogenation of Benzene: C6H6 +3H2 →

The thermal distillation process uses heat to evaporate water and then later liquefy again. When there is leftover heat or enough electricity available, as is often the case with factories and power plants, thermal distillation is a well-organized and workable
What is fractional distillation? Fractional distillation is a method of separating miscible liquids using heat. This technique is used for the separation of liquids which dissolve in each other. Several simple distillations are completed during fractional distillation using only one apparatus.
DETERMINATION OF PERCENTAGE ETHANOL IN BEVERAGES 1. Introduction to Gas Chromatography Gas chromatography is a very powerful separation technique for compounds that are reasonably volatile. The components of a sample partitions into two phases, the 1st of these phases is a immobile bed with a great surface area, and the other is a gas phase that permeates through the immobile bed. The sample is evaporated and passed by the mobile gas phase or the carrier gas through the column. Samples separates into the stationary liquid phase, based on their solubilities at the given temperature.
