Chemistry Gcse :seperating Solutions (distillation)

Question 1

What is simple distillation🫧?

Answer 1

Separating a LIQUID from a solution

Question 2

What is fractional distillation 🫧?

Answer 2

Separating MIXTURES of liquid ( separating multiple liquids from one another )

Question 3

Steps for simple distillation! ( first step is …)

Answer 3

To prepare your equipment

Question 4

What equipment do you need to do this experiment (simple distillation)?

Answer 4

🫧thermometer
🫧distillation flask
🫧 condenser
🫧multiple corks
🫧receiving flask (used to collect pure substance ) at the end
🫧Bunsen burner
🫧water jacket to cover the condenser

Question 5

Step 2 (simple distillation)

Answer 5

Cool the condenser

Question 6

Step 3 ( simple distillation)

Answer 6

Use the Bunsen burner to heat the substance up that you want distilling ( purified)

Question 7

Step 4 ( simple distillation)

Answer 7

Keep an eye on the thermometer to see when it reaches its boiling point ( bubbles start to come )

Question 8

Step 5 ( simple distillation)

Answer 8

Vaporisation - let the boiling liquid travel through the cold condenser

Question 9

Step 6 ( simple distillation)

Answer 9

As the vapour passes through it will cool and become a liquid once again seeing as the condenser is also cold

Question 10

Collect the distillate 🫧 is which step in the process ?

Answer 10

Step 7 !

Question 11

What is the distillate ?

Answer 11

The purified substance

Question 12

Step 8 ( simple distillation)?

Answer 12

Continue to collect the distillate ( cooling vapour )

Question 13

Step 9 ( simple distillation)?

Answer 13

Collect the final distillate ( purified substance ) in the receiver flask and then ANYTHING LEFT IN THE DISTILLING FLASK is unpurified

Question 14

What is the only difference in equipment for fractional distillation compared to simple distillation?

Answer 14

MUST USE A FRACTIONATING COLUMN INSTEAD OF

Question 15

What does a fractionating column have inside of it ?

Answer 15

Little glass rods that stop all the liquids your trying to separate ,from all distilling together

Question 16

When doing fractional distillation what else is important?

Answer 16

To start by boiling the substance from lowest to highest boiling points !

Question 17

If three different liquids had boiling points of ; 65degrees ,76degrees and 97degrees which boiling point would you want to reach first to distill the first liquid

Answer 17

65 degrees - seeing as it is the lowest
