separating a mixture using Distillation

Hello and welcome to my blog today's blog is about separating a mixture using  Distillation.

Aim: To  separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using Distillation. note: in this experiment  we used coke instead  of saltwater. 

Equipment: A solution of saltwater,conical flask,heat proof mat,a delivery tube and bung,Bunsen burner,tripod,gauze mat,resort stand, boss head clam and a boiling tube.

method 

1. set up the Equipment as shown in picture .

2.Add approximately 50ml of saltwater to your conical flask.

3.light your Bunsen burner.open the air hole and gently push the Bunsen burner underneath the tripod.

4.heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated. turn off your Bunsen burner. 

hypothesis:I think that coca-cola with have more sugar than coke zero but coke zero will have some sugar than none and in the boiling/test tube there with be condensation 

Results: my hypothesis is right there was condensation in the boiling/test tube and there was still sugar in the coke zero.

here is some photos of our experiment.

                                                     this is the start of the experiment 

see how the coke isn't gone 

this is after and what you see here is the                                       

sugar in coke                                       

                                           

Discussion: during the experiment the coke started to boiling the boiling was caused by the heat on the element.After that condensation started to go up the delivery tube into the boiling/test tube and making a clear liquid.In the conical flask the sugar melted at the bottom of the conical flask as you can see in the lower picture.

Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.
