Separating a mixture using distillation

Separating a mixture using distillation

Aim: to separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation

equipment:
1. coke zero
2. conical flask
3. delivery tube
4. bung
5. element
6. retort stand
7. ice to cool up the gas
8. boiling tube

method:
1. set up the equipment as shown on the diagrams
2. add the conical flask 50 ml of coke zero
3. put the flask on the element and turn on the element.


discussion:
we used a conical flask to hold our solution of coke, then we boiled it using an element with the coke in the flask. and after the coke zero evaporated into a gas we used the delivery tube to transfer the gas to a boiling tube, then we put the beaker that has ice inside, under the boiling tube to cool up the heated gas to a liquid/Condenses. after the coke zero evaporated, the sugar was left behind inside the flask.
