Rediet Legese iLab Week # 6 CRUDE OIL DISTILLATION Introduction: The aim of this week lab experiment is to experiment distill crude oil and to check how temperature determine the chemical properties of crude oil plus how the boiling point can also show physical properties. They are two major finding in this experiment. he first finding was the point at which the raw petroleum is heated to the point of boiling, at 275 0C, the gas and kerosene oil are refined, however the oil (lubricant ) stays as an unrefined feature oil. Another finding was that the oil at the gasoline stage was brown pinkish and for kerosene it became a grey. Procedure: Step 1: Set up the distillation apparatus. ➢ From the Equipment dropdown, select Distillation then …show more content…

Again select the flask and select Distillation Head from the drop down menu. ➢ For the third time select the flask and choose Condenser from Distillation from the menu and for last time select the flask Distillation Take-off from the dropdown option. ➢ Select the 100 mL Graduated Cylinder from the Equipment option and put it underneath of distillation take-off. Note: make sure that you leave space between distillation take-off and the cylinder. This would allow you to observe the drops of the distillate that enter to Graduated Cylinder. Step 2: Begin distillation. ➢ Select the flask, and then choose 50 mL of crude oil from the Chemicals menu. Then, by selecting the flask and choose “Chemical Properties” option from dropdown. NOTE: Record the grams of gasoline, kerosene, and lubricating oils that are present in the 50 mL of crude oil. ➢ Select the flask, and choose Heating Mantel option afterward select Max Heat and make sure you record the temperature when you see crude oil begins to boil. ➢ When the crude oil begins to boil, Make sure you turn the temperature down to 60% by decreasing the heating metal two times. Step 3: Record the …show more content…

the Crude oil also known as petroleum. Crude oil composed naturally from that remaining part of plants and creatures that died millions years ago and fell underneath of the see. Unrefined (Crude oil) contain hydrocarbons and alkanes in it. The hydrocarbon indicates that crude oil only made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon has different structure (straight chains, branching, and rings). The gas (gasoline) division is advance cultured and through an assortment of procedures is changed over into the fuel we control our autos with, warmth homes, and cook our nourishment. Certain parts of the gas division are evacuated (depentanized) and others have their substance structure changed (isomerized). A couple dirtying impacts are cleared (desulfurized), and others have portions added to convey the last thing (reformulated fuel). The kerosene oil and fuel oil portion is fundamentally unaltered and utilized as fuel for the trucking and development industry. This portion can likewise be prepared into a forte's portion solvents utilized as a part of assembling

The initial mole ratio values for the miniscale distillations were 0.329 for cyclohexane and 0.671 for toluene so there is a ratio of 1:3 when comparing cyclohexane to toluene. For the miniscale fractional unpacked distillation, the final mole fractions were .190 for cyclohexane and .810 for toluene and so the rounded ratio of the cyclohexane to toluene was 1:5. . For the miniscale simple distillation, the final mole fraction values were 0.225 for cyclohexane and 0.775 for toluene and so the ratio for the miniscale simple distillation is approximately 1:4 when comparing cyclohexane to toluene. And for the miniscale fractional Vigreux column distillation the final mole fractions were .293 for cyclohexane and .707 for toluene so the rounded molar fraction of the miniscale fractional Vigreux column distillation was 3:10.

Introduction The purpose of this Lab was to identify the density of the unidentified object and determine what substance the unidentified object given by the teacher was. The density calculated in the experiment will stay the same because the density of the unidentified object will stay constant. The Independent Variable of this experiment was the calculated density and the unidentified object given. The Dependant Variable for this experiment was the density.

First, the 250-mL graduated cylinder, 100-mL graduated cylinder, and the 10-mL graduated cylinder were observed to see the volume of the liquid in each one. Then, one digit further was estimated, and the results were recorded. After that, the 25-mL graduated cylinder and the 50-mL beaker were cleaned and dried. Next, their masses were measured on the scale, and the results were rounded to the nearest thousands decimal place. Subsequently, the Erlenmeyer flask was filled with 100 mL of distilled water.

I will then pour water into the beaker to 500ml. 16. I will put the thermometer into the beaker and stir the water, leave the thermometer till the temperature stays constant.-this will give the heated water temperature. 17. I will repeat the same method from step 3 – just attaching the chrome tap to the hosepipe 18.

All of the components of this mixture have different physical properties, which is what helped in the process of separation. Starting with sodium chloride, this is a compound that has the following physical properties: colourless, transparent, crystal structure, salty taste, boiling point of 1465 degrees Celsius, melting point of 8000.7 degrees Celsius, and is soluble in water (Sodium Chloride, PubChem). Silicon dioxide, which is also known as silica, has the physical properties of odourless, a boiling point of 2230 degrees Celsius, a melting point of 1710 degrees Celsius, and is insoluble in water (Silicon Dioxide, PubChem). Furthermore, octane is an alkane that that has the physical properties of colourless, clear, liquid, a boiling point of 125.6 degrees Celsius, a melting point of -56.73 degrees Celsius, and is soluble in water (Octane, PubChem). When connecting back to the Athabasca Oil Sands, on average, the sediments and oil are mixed together with

The crude oil is heated in a tall cylinder called fractionator for at least 350 degC. The process is based on the principle that different substances boil at different temperature. The cyclohexane content of naphtha fraction of crude oil can vary from 0.5 to 5.0 volume %. N-hexane, isohexanes, methyl cyclopentane, benzene and dimethyl pentanes have normal boiling points very close to cyclohexane.1 Advantages: 1. Uses a simple method of cyclohexane recovery. Disadvantages: 1.

Most of the used cooking oil thrown end up being collected to produce biodiesel; most restaurants donate their used cooking oil to prevent from throwing it in the drain. Rudolf Diesel who invented the diesel engine conducted an experiment by using vegetable oil as fuel for is engine (Pacific Biodiesel). Rudolf Diesel himself developed and designed the engine for it to be able to run on different kinds of fuel from kerosene to petroleum; however, petroleum was more preferred over vegetable because it was cheap due to its

Bio-diesel production yields undesirable by-products for example methanol and glycerin. These by-products are removed so that the bio-diesel is suitable for use. Fractional distillation is used in the essential oil, flavor and fragrance industry. Raw essential oils are extracted from different plants such as mint, clove and tee tree for example. These raw oils contains impurities that have a bad flavour or odor.

Introduction Buffer is a solution that resists a change in pH when bases or acid are added. Solutions that are acidic contain high concentrations of hydrogen ions (H+) and have pH values less than seven. Buffer usually consist of a weak acid, and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. The function of buffer is to resist the changes in hydrogen ion concentration as a result of internal and environmental factor. This buffer experiment is important so that we relies the important of buffer in our life.
