Simple distillation (summer exam)

Question 1

Simple distillation is used to separate a liquid from a soluble solid in a solution.

Answer 1

JUST KNOW!!

Question 2

Simple distillation is used to separate solutions with very different boiling points. For example, water can be separated from salty water solution.

Answer 2

JUST KNOW!!

Question 3

LOOK AT THE ACTUAL REVISION SLIDES FOR UNDERSTANDING

Answer 3

yes big boyo

Question 4

1.The salty solution is heated in the round bottom flask.
2.Water evaporates/boils and form a gas called water vapour/steam.
3.Water vapours rises.
4.The water vapour passes into the Liebig condenser, where it cools and condenses.
5.Liquid water drips into a beaker.
6.All the water has evaporated from the salt solution, leaving the salt behind.

Answer 4

Take it slow

Question 5

Simple distillation: Why does this method work?
All the water has evaporated from the salt solution, leaving the salt behind?

Answer 5

This is because water has a much lower boiling point than salt.

Question 6

In the round bottom flask – boiling/evaporation takes place.
In the Liebig condenser – condensation takes place.

Answer 6

MUST KNOW!!! cuz this is ez marks

Question 7

What is the role of the thermometer?
Measure the temperature of the vapour before it enters the Liebig condenser.
Gives the boiling point of the substance that’s a vapour.

Answer 7

KIND OF PART OF THE METHOD
