In the Activity, what do you put in the Distillation Flask before heating it?
Acetone and water
What are the Solid particles on filter paper called? And liquid that passes?
Residue, Filterate
What are the boiling points of Acetone and Water?
56 deg C and 100 deg C
What is the main concept behind Simple Distillation?
Based on different boiling points of liquids, and there should be sufficient difference in the 2 points
Is Distillation used to purify a liquid mixture? Explain
Used to separate a liquid mixture, eg - Acetone and Water
Which liquid gets collected in the beaker?
The Condensed Acetone
What does a Water Condenser do?
Has cold running water through the jacket, Cools the vapour that first evaporates
Why do you put a thermometer in a distillation flask?
To read the increase in temperature while heating
What is Simple Distillation?
Heating liquid mixture to form vapour --- cooling that vapour to get a liquid
What do you mean by Filtration?
Separating an Insoluble Solid component of a mixture from its liquid component through a filter
Can Filtration remove solid substances that are dissolved in a liquid?
No
Do fine particles pass through filter? Then, what do we do? Explain
We use Filter paper
