Purpose: Separation of a liquid mixture into fractions differing in boiling point using fractionating column. Equations: Raoult's Law refers to the partial vapor pressure of a component in a mixture is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure component at that temperature multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture. Procedure and Data: 1.) Micro-spinning band distillation apparatus was set up using the figure 5.16. 2.) 5.0 ml conical vial was used for 3ml of binary mixture after testing if the spinning band rotates properly or not. 3.) The boiling stone wasn’t used for micro-spinning band distillation column. 4.) Teflon spinning band was checked and aligned properly before starting the experiment. 5.) The heater stirrer was checked if its spins the band properly. 6.) The Teflon stopper was inserted on to the side arm of vacuum adapter. 7.) The joints should be sealed tight by greasing the ends which will prevent the distillation mixture to leak out. This will also result in incomplete results. 8.) The thermometer was inserted into the spectrum. 9.) 5.0 ml conical vial was
