Distillation Experiment

Today in science we are learning about Evaporation,Distillation and Condensation.

Aim:
To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation.

Method:
1.Set up the equipment  as shown on the diagram.

2.A mixture of coke and water was heated in a conical flask…

3.The water evaporates leaving the coke behind…

4.The water vapour flows through the delivery tube…

5.Heat the solution until most of the solvent has evaporated.

6.Then turn your element off.

Results:We saw the coke bubble then it started boil because of the heat.

Discussion:The photo with the flask that has a layer of coke on the bottom of the flask had that layer because the liquid was separated from the coke mixture by being boiled.

But the other coke mixture that is coke zero has a layer of sugar on the bottom of the flask that is because the coke zero has less sugar in the coke zero mixture.



Distillation: First the coke started boiling because it was being heated by the element, then the liquid evaporated and turned into a gas and went into the delivery tube next the  gas condensed and turned into solvent because it was cooled down by sitting in the ice that was in the beaker and the solute was left in the bottom of the flask.
