In science on tuesday we did a expirement on distillation
Aim: to remove water from coke using distillation
Equipment: bunsen burner, trypod, heat mat, gause mat, retort stand with clamp, delivery tube and bung, beaker, conical flask, boiliing tube, coke and ice with water
Method:
1. pour about 100 mL of your coke in to your conical flask
2. put the bung and delivery tube in the top of the conical flask
3. then put your boiling tube in the clamp
4 put the bottom of the boiling tube in the beaker with the ice with water and then put the other end of the deliver tube in the top of the boiling tube
5. light the bunsen burner then put it under the tripod that has the conical flask
6. once the water has evaporated turn off the gas
Results: once my coke started to boil it only boiled on one side and made a wavy pattern once i there was a medium amount of water in the boiling tube i turned of the gas it took about 5 minutes i could move it to the sink and slowly run water on the conical flask to cool it down further.
how does distillation separate two liquid? it evaporates the liquid with the lower boiling point
what are the two chemical process in distillation: first is evaporation and the second is condensation
how is distillation used in real life? to make drinkable water, to make diesel, petroleum and alcohol etc
i see you pee means icup. can you spell icup and comment to my gmail
ReplyDeleteHi Cameron, I like how detailed your results are and how you even mentioned the wavy current you saw, great observation. Next time I would include a picture or a video of the experiment to show people how to set it up. Do you think distillation is commonly used to make drinking water?
