Put the stopper in the flask in order to drive out all the air and any excess water. Work the stopper gently into the flask, so that it is firmly seated in position. Wipe any water from the outside of the flask with a towel and soak up all excess water from around the top of the stopper. Again weigh the flask to the nearest milligram. Having the density of water and the temperature of water, you should be able to determine the volume of the flask very precisely.
Simple and Fractional Distillation of Cyclohexane and Toluene Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to become familiar with the processes of simple and fractional distillation. In this experiment a mixture of two volatile compounds, cyclohexane and toluene, were separated with the process of distillation. Distillation relies on each compound having distinct and separate boiling points. The pure products were analyzed with gas chromatography to determine the success of the distillation. Introduction: Distillation is the process of heating a liquid until it boils, then condensing and collecting the resulting hot vapors.
This is because when an azeotrope is boiled, the resulting vapour has the same ratio of constituents as the original mixture of liquids. Each azeotrope has a characteristic boiling point. The boiling point of an azeotrope is either less than the boiling points of any of its constituents (a positive azeotrope), or greater than the boiling point of any of its constituents (a negative azeotrope). The azeotropes of cyclohexanol/water and cyclohexene/water are both positive azeotropes. The separation of cyclohexene could not depend on distillation alone.
Then we just give the sample to TA in order to get the peak. 4. Result and Discussion Steam distillation is a special type of distillation especially for temperature sensitive materials. Many organic compounds, in this case, limonene, tend to decompose at high sustained temperatures. Steam is introduced to the distillation system.
We expect Pentane to be the most ideal because it’s boiling point is the furthest away from the boiling point of water. To test our hypothesis, we used heat to vaporize each gas, an ice bath to cool the gases down and measured the condensed liquid gas to calculate each gas’s constant. Methods: In this experiment, we first measured the mass of an empty flask using
Purpose: The following lab was conducted in order to determine the iron (〖Fe〗^(2+)) content in an unknown sample by way of reduction-oxidation titration using a standardized potassium permanganate solution. Theory: Titration is one of the most commonly used methods for determining the amount or concentration of an unknown substance. Chemical analysis can be performed on redox titrations, if the following conditions are met: “The reaction is thermodynamically spontaneous enough to be stoichiometric”, “The reaction is kinetically fast enough to give operationally ‘instant’ results”, “No side reactions occur”, and “a satisfactory indicator exists”. These conditions are what makes potassium permanganate (〖KMnO〗_4) a very useful analytical oxidation agent as it easily fits the criteria. The half reactions for this system are: Oxidation of 〖Fe〗^(2+): 〖Fe〗^(2+)→ 〖Fe〗^(3+)+1e^- Reduction of 〖MnO〗_4^-: 〖MnO〗_4^-+8H_3 O^++5e^-→ 〖Mn〗^(2+)+12H_2 O Which produces the following overall equation: 〖MnO〗_4^-+8H_3 O^++5〖Fe〗^(2+)→5〖Fe〗^(3+)+〖Mn〗^(2+)+12H_2 O Equilibrium is initially obtained at a very slow rate, therefore the titration is carried out in the presence of excess sulphuric acid (H_2 〖SO〗_4) at a high temperature; in order to drastically increase the rate at which equilibrium is attained.
Distillation is a liquid purification process using heating and cooling. Real World Application Vapor pressure is used in distillation to purify a compound by separating it from non-volatile material. The lowering of the vapor pressure causes molecular movement along the surface of a liquid and through processes of evaporation and vapor cooling; the compound is separated and distilled into its purer forms. Distillation there are many uses for colligative properties in the real world, and decreasing of vapor pressure is among the many that are implemented into modern techniques and technology today. "Colligative Properties of Solutions."
Raoult’s Law was used in this experiment because it describes the vapor pressure that takes place in the experiment. The law states “The vapor pressure of a solution of a non-volatile solute is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure solvent at that temperature multiplied by its mole fraction.” (Clark) This means that the vapor pressure of a solution depends on the vapor pressure of the solutes making up the solvent. Dalton’s Law says that the total vapor pressure of a solution is equal to all of the individual vapor pressures that make up the solution. (Blauch) This law was also used in the lab due to the binary mixture of cyclohexane and toluene.

In the sodium iodide test, the alkyl halide is added to sodium iodide in acetone. In this test, primary halides precipitate the fastest while secondary halides need to be heated in order for a reaction to occur. Comparison of the rates of precipitation of the obtained product to standard 1° and 2° bromide solutions will show whether the product is a primary or secondary
Without treatment this condensate can contain up to 1kg of ammonia and 1kg methanol per m3. More than 95% of the dissolved gases can be recovered by stripping with process steam and are recycled to the process. The stripped condensate can be re-used as boiler feed water make-up after treatment by ion exchange. Usually the ammonia absorbed from purge and flash gases is recovered in a closed loop so that no aqueous ammonia emissions occur. Emissions into water from the production plant during normal operation can thus be fully avoided.
