ABSTRACT
Prior to the experiment, several test tubes were calibrated into to a 0.5ml mark and were labeled
accordingly from 1-25. After which, a setup for simple distillation was carefully prepared and a distilling
flask that contained 30ml of vodka (Smirnoff) was heated above an alcohol lamp. Next, the temperature
by which the first distillate dripped was noted and collected with the calibrated test tubes and filled up to
the 0.5ml mark. Collection of distillate stopped when the temperature reach 100oC. The 44 test tubes of
distillates collected were then subjected to a flame test. Four to five drops of distillate was placed in an
evaporating dish and was then lighted by a match to test the flammability. The color and odor was also
noted. The residue in the distilling flask was then transferred to a TD volumetric glassware and the volume
was recorded. Lastly, the glasswares used were washed with soap, water then distilled water.
