Question

two liquids? (each member of the group should 1. Which type of distillation gave you a (a) simple distlation (b) tractional distiflation () bath wedwe 4. Would it have been possible to distil over all the volume of both liquids from your distilling Mask? Explain. 2. For each of the f each inswe (a) You have a misture of cyclohexane and toluene that you want 1o separate (b) You have just finished an extraction, and you now have a der sitio dichloromethane and limonene that you want to separate (c) You have just finished running a reaction and isolating betthydrol, btts ith some solid impurities (d) You have just finished running a reaction and extracting your produrt,ism,at However, the oil you have isolated is dark brown in color due to the presence of so imparities.

Explanation / Answer

1. If fractional distillation is performed too fast, it will lead to the flow of gaseous particles into the condensor at a faster rate. It would have a tendency to entrain and thus, carry other particles that would be present in the condensed liquid after distillation is complete. Slow distillation helps in a careful regulation of the entire process, and each fraction is then obtained in its pure form.
