Abstract
Distillation is the separation of a mixture into its component due to the difference in boiling point. In this experiment the group made use of Gin manufactured by Ginebra San Miguel as a test sample for two different techniques of distillation. The techniques used were simple distillation and fractional distillation and was carried out by two groups, simple distillation for the odd number group and fractional distillation for the even number group. The distillates are then subjected to a flammability test and the data gathered was used to calculate the percentage alcohol, error and loss. The data gathered from temperature readings were graphed. It was found that fractional distillation is more efficient compared to simple distillation based on the calculated results.
Introduction
Distillation is a method used to purify a mixture by separating the component from a less-volatile component due to the differences in boiling point. If the compound is known to be more volatile than the other, the compound can be separated in a single distillation. This is known to be simple distillation, this technique can purify liquids with small amounts of impurities or the boiling point of the components varies from 75-100 C and the apparatus consists of a flask, condenser, distilling head. However, given a compound that has its components less than the minimum temperature for simple distillation to be carried. Fractional distillation is used instead, for the technique is said to be the effect of simple distillations. The apparatus needed are the same with simple distillation, however it consists of a fractionating column that is placed in between the flask and the distilling head.
The objectives for this experiment are to separate and calculate the alcohol
