simple distillation experiment lab report

3. What was the content of the distillate in this experiment? What constitute the residue? [2] 4. Compare the literature and observed boiling point of the distillate. [1]​


Answer :

Considering a simple distillation in the laboratory

3) The content of the distillate is : Alcohol and water

  The residue is : water

4) The literature boiling point = 151°F

   The Observed boiling point = 147°F

Distillation is a simple method used in the laboratory to separate the contents of a mixture based on the differences in their volatilities when mixture is heated to a boiling point.

My assumption; on a simple distillation experiment consists of a mixture containing methanol ( alcohol ) and water

Hence the content of the distillate is ; Alcohol and water the residue is water while the literature boiling point is 151°F and the observed boiling point is 147°F
