EXPERIMENT 2 : SIMPLE BATCH DISTILLATION
Objective :
Theory :
An ordinary binary mixture is a mixture which contains only two components ( A and
B ) that
mixes at all proportion to form a homogeneous solution. ‘A’ denotes much volatile
component
that has lower boiling point or higher vapor pressure while component B is less
volatile. By
utilizing their difference in volatility, we can separate these components by
heating the mixture.
The vapor generated by the heating generally has a higher content of component A
while
component B is normally concentrated in the residual liquid. Hence separation has
taken effect.
This separation is called distillation.
Procedure :
A. Distillation
4
at a rate sufficiently high enough to cool and condense the vapor completely
but not too
high as to render the equipment set-up unstable.
4. Weigh a clean and dry 150 ml beaker and position in beneath the distillate
outlet spout
to collect the distillate.
5. Check and make sure all connections fit snugly before the distillation process
begin.
Start the distillation by turning on the hot plate. The heating control switch
should be
positioned at 6 or 7.
6. When the solution inside the flask is approximately one-third vaporized, turn
off the hot
plate.
7. Wait until the plate cools down and let all the vapors condense before
disassemble the
distillation equipment. While disassembling the glassware, you should be
careful not to
spill any distillate that might be trapped in between the connections. You
should collect
this trapped distillate and add up to your collecting beaker.

EXPERIMENT 3 : TERNARY PHASE DIAGRAM (LIQUID – LIQUID EXTRACTION)
Objective :
The main objectives of this experiment are to determine a bimodal solubility curve,
the lines
and plait point for a system of three components consisting of acetic acid,
chloroform and
water at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Acetic acid is the solute.
Procedure :

Result and Data :
Table 1 : Result for titration of 10g acetic acid-chloroform mixture with water.
Densities of chloroform, acetic acid and water are 1.483, 1.049 and 1.000 g/ml
respectively.

B. To obtain a tie lines and plait point
Precaution :
QUESTION
From table 1, obtain the bimodal solubility curve and calculate the mass fraction
for each
component in the turbid mixture.
Using the mass fractions, construct the bimodal solubility curve (ternary phase
diagram) for
the three component mixture by means of right angle triangular diagram.
Write a chemical equation for the titration. The equation enables you to
calculate the mass
of acetic acid present in each phase.
Calculate the mass percent of acetic acid in each heavy phase and light phase at
a particular
combination in Table 2 which will give you a tie line for your ternary system.
You should
have 3 tie lines. From the tie lines, determine the plait point.

7. Put about two drops of phenolphthalein into each flask and titrate them using
2.0 M
NaOH (aq). The endpoint is when the solution turns color.
Using the ternary phase equilibrium curve obtained in the previous experiment
provided in
Appendix 2, determine the theoretical mass fractions of acid in the raffinate and
extract phases
and compare to those obtained by this experiment.
QUESTION
1. Briefly explain what you do to your data in order to obtain your results?
2. Discuss your experimental result by comparing to your theoretical result. If
they differ,
how much?
3. Why do you think they differ? Include all contributing errors and how these
errors effect
your result.
4. Compare a standard binodal solubility curve for chloroform-acetic acid-water
system
with your binodal solubility curve you obtain from this experiment. Discuss
if exist any
differences
5. Explain when liquid-liquid extraction method is suitable to apply compare with
distillation method.

EXPERIMENT 5 : AIR PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL ACROSS DRY AND WET COLUMN
(GAS ABSORPTION PACKED COLUMN)
Objective :
To determine the air pressure differential across the column as a function of air
flow rate.
Equipment Set-up:
1. The column must be dried by passing the maximum air flow until all evidence
of moisture in the
packing has disappeared.
2. Set valves V1, V2 and V3 as shown in the diagram so that differential
pressures in the top and
bottom sections of the column are indicated on the two water manometers.
3. Take manometer readings of pressure differential across the column for a
range of air flow rates.
The total pressure differential is the sum of the differential across the
top and bottom halves of
the column, i.e. add the reading from the two water manometers.
*Total pressure different = manometer top + manometer bottom

Results and data :
QUESTION
1. Plot the total pressure differential as a function of air flow rate on log-
log graph paper
and establish the relationship between these variables.
2. Compare standard diagram for total pressure differential vs log air flow rate
with the
experimental one. Discuss any difference between them.
3. Is there any loading and flooding point exist in dry packed column? Give
reason why.
1. Fill the sump to three-quarters full with tap water. Set valves V1, V2 and V3
as shown on
the diagram so that differential pressures in the top and bottom sections of
the column
are indicated on the two water manometer.
2. Switch on the water pump and set C1 to give a flow rate of say 3
liters/minute down the
column.
3. After about 30 seconds close C1, switch off the pump and allow the column to
drain for
5 minutes.
4. Measure the air pressure differential across the wet column as a function of
the air flow
rate.
5. Measure the air pressure differential across the column as a function of the
air flow rate
for different water flow rates up to say 5 liters/minute, noting the
appearance of the
column at each setting.

The range of possible air flow rates will decrease with increasing water flow
rate due to onset
of ‘flooding’ of the column, which should be noted.
