When setting up the distillation apparatus, note the following procedure: Ferhe thermometer should be placed beside the side arm of the distillation flask (Fig, 3.19). It should not be dipped into the eh solution. This ensures that the thermometer measures the C boiling point of the substance that is being distilled. side arm thermometer ennetenemumei tt 2. The condenser consists of two tubes: an inner tube and an Fig. 3.19 Distillation flask outer water jacket (Fig. 3.20).

This helps to keep the temperature of the distillate low so that it remains in the liquid state. eonpere® inner tube ' water in Fig. 3.20 Condenser How does temperature that is recorded vary asa salt solution Temperature CO is distilled? At 100°C, water boils off. As the salt solution is heated, its temperature increases (Fig. 3.21). When the solution finally boils, the thermometer records a temperature of 100 °C. This is the temperature of the water vapour. The temperature remains unchanged until all the - water has boiled off. 100°C What are the uses of simple distillation? Simple distillation can be used to: Time (mit e recover a solvent from a non-volatile solute.
