ANACHEM LAB Flashcards
It is a process of separation & purification of liquid organic compounds by selective evaporation & condensation.
Distillation
The temperatures at which a liquid distills is a definite value at a given pressure, for every pure organic compound
Boiling Point
Types of Distillation
- Simple Distillation
- Vacuum Distillation
- Steam Distillation
- Fractional Distillation
- Reflex
This consists of a round-bottomed flask connected by means of a distillation adapter to a water-cooled condenser.
Simple Distillation
The vapors generated in the pot rise the fractionating column and encounter cooler surfaces, upon which they condense.
Vacuum Distillation
This method is used for the separation of water immiscible compound of low volatility from non- volatile tarry products which are formed as by-products in many reactions.
Steam Distillation
It is used to separate mixtures in which the components have boiling points that differ by only a few degrees, by employing a fractionating column in the distillation apparatus.
Fractional Distillation
Reflex is a distillation technique involves the condensation of vapors & the return of this condensate to the system from which it originated.
