Distillation-Science

Distillation:

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

Method: 1. Set up the equipment as shown in the diagram
2. Add approximately 50 ML of coke to your conical flask
3. Light your Bunsen burner. Open the air hole and gently push the Bunsen burner under the tripod.
4. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated. Turn off your Bunsen Burner

Result : The coke was boiling and we had clear liquid going through and up into the test tube. There was steam going up the tube into the test tube which when cool made it into a clear liquid. 

Discussion: We first Boiled/evaporated the solvent which was water which at the end ended up being like tar and sugar as the solute. Then while the coke was Distillation/the steam is rising up the test tube. The test tube was full of the condensed Solution which was a clear liquid substance/water.
