Aim: To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation.
Equipment: Blue food coloring, conical flask, heatproof mat, a delivery tube, and bung, Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, retort stand, boss head, and clamp, boiling tube
Method:
1. Set up the equipment as shown in the diagram.
2. Add approximately 50 ml of water and a few drops of food coloring 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.
Results: We are using coke to condense it.
Discussion: The solution gets boiled n heated which creates gas. The gas evaporates into steam and flows through the delivery tube then condensing back into a solvent. Whats left behind is tartar which is a solute
