ABSTRACT
Distillation is the most common technique, it is a process wherein the liquid is separated from the solution by boiling the liquid solution and condensing the vapor in order to get the distillate. There are four kind of distillation: simple distillation, fractional distillation, vacuum distillation and steam distillation. Simple distillation is the process wherein the pure liquid is separated from the solution with different boiling points. 20mL of Vokda (Antonov) was placed in a pear-shaped distilling flask for heating until the solution boils, the maximum boiling point of it was 100°C. The pure liquid turned into a vapor and left the distilling flask. The vapor then was condensed in the condenser and turned into a distillate. The distillate was collected in a calibrated and numbered test tubes and the temperature was recorded as well. The group was able to acquire 22.50% of ethanol in the compound and got 22.50% of error in the simple distillation experiment.
INTRODUCTION Distillation is a process of separating and purifying liquid mixtures, where one substance is separated from another by condensation and evaporation. There are four methods of distillation: simple distillation, fractional distillation, vacuum distillation and steam distillation.
Simple distillation is the process wherein the pure liquid is separated from the solution with different boiling points. It is by boiling the liquid solution in a pear-shaped distilling flask and for it to evaporate and pass through the condenser for it to become a distillate.
Fractional distillation is almost the same as the simple distillation, the only difference is that in a fractional distillation, fractionating column is used which is attached at
