PROCEDURE:

Experiment 1: Distillation column 1. Make sure all valves on the equipment are fully closed. 2. The valve 10 (V10) is opened 3. The boiler with mixture that consists of 5L of ethanol and 5L of water is filled which will be distilled. Make sure the filler cap was replaced. 4. The control panel power is switch on. 5. The temperature selector switch to T9 is set. 6. The power controller is turned for the reboiler heating element fully anti-clockwise and it is switch on. 7. The temperature is adjusted to 87C; let it stabilized for 20 minutes. 8. The degree of forming on the trays is observed. 9. The valve 8 (V8) and valve 11 (V11) is opened to take the sample. 10. Step 7 until 9 is repeated for 88C, 89C, and 90C of temperature.

Finding refractive index using Refractometer: 1. The refractive index value is taken using digital refractometer for each temperature sample of product at each temperature. 2. The automatic digital refractometer is running: a. The surface is cleaned using distilled water b. The power is switch on. c. The ZERO setting (SWL key) is press. d. The start key is press after placing sample, and the refractive index is recorded. e. Clean and switch off.

Experiment 2: Non distillation mixing of ethanol and water 1. The 100 mL of water is equal to 100 mol of water is be assumed. 2. The volume of water is calculated using the formula giving.

3. After calculated, sample A is mixed with 100 mL water with 0 mL ethanol using conical flask. 4. The solution is stirred carefully. 5. Step 2 to 4 is repeated for: a. Sample B (90 mL water, 100 mL ethanol) b. Sample C (30 mL water, 100 mL ethanol) c. Sample D (10 mL water, 100 mL ethanol) d. Sample E (0 mL water, 100 mL ethanol) 6. The refractive index values are recorded for all samples by using refractometer.
