EXPERIMENT 5: SIMPLE DISTILLATION AND REDUCED PRESSURE

DISTILLATION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
1.- Research the physical properties and molecular structure of alkanes and alcohols.
2.- Relationship between structure and its physical properties.
3.- Distillation under reduced pressure. Relationship between pressure and temperature.
4.- Applications and characteristics of reduced pressure distillation.
5.- Characteristics of the compounds capable of being purified by distillation under reduced pressure.
6.- The interpretation of a nomograph and the operation of a manometer.
