1. Distillation of sample mixture of pentane and hexane. Determine which organic compound will distil out first? 2. A student carried out a simple distillation on a compound known to boil at 124°C and reported an observed boiling point of 116-117°C. Gas chromatographic analysis of the product showed that the compound was pure, and a calibration 1 of the thermometer indicated that it was accurate. What procedural error might the student have made in setting up the distillation apparatus? 3. The directions in an experiment specify that the solvent, diethyl ether, be removed from the product by using a simple distillation. Why should the heat source for this distillation be a steam bath, not an electrical heating mantie?
