Document Summary

Distillation is a common method used in chemistry to separate substances. Boiling points of each substance is a result of its molecular structure and types of bonds within the compound. The process of distillation can purify a compound by separating it from a less volatile substance and into individual components on the basis of differences in their boiling points (experiment 3). There are two main types of distillations: simple and fractional. Simple distillation involves the boiling of compounds within the distilling flask in order for their vapours to be carried past the thermometer bulb. The vapours then flow into the cooled condenser which turns the compound back into liquid form. The different compounds are then collected in the receiving flask. In order for this procedure to have accurate results, the pressure must stay constant throughout the experiment. This is done by leaving the tubing connector of the vacuum takeoff adaptor open.
