WWU -- Chemistry
Key Point!
When conducting a distillation, the vapor should be richer in the lower boiling component than what you started with.

Your equipment has a built-in thermometer adapter, so your equipment will look a bit different. Look at the setup in the hood before you start assembling the equipment. Ask your instructor if you will be attaching the vacuum adapter! Some instructors will ask you to leave off this piece of glassware! There are wooden blocks that can be used to raise the apparatus. The wooden blocks are in the cupboard under the hood.

Azeotrope
Some mixtures of liquids, because of attractions or repulsions between the molecules, do not behave ideally These mixtures do not obey Raoults Law An azeotrope is a mixture with a fixed composition that cannot be altered by either simple or fractional distillation An azeotrope behaves as if it were a pure compound, and it distills from beginning to end at a constant temperature.
WWU -- Chemistry
Types of Azeotropes
There are two types of non-ideal behavior:
Minimum-boiling-point
Boiling point of the mixture is lower than the boiling point of either pure component
Maximum-boiling-point
Boiling point of the mixture is higher than the boiling point of either pure component

Compounds in unknowns: boiling points. There will only be two components in each unknown
Hexanes (mixture of isomers) 68-70 oC Cyclohexane Heptane Toluene 80 oC 98 oC 110 oC
Mixture separates by distillation according to the boiling point. Compounds with the lower bp come off first! The same is true on the gas chromatographic column; the lower boiling compound comes off first!
