Exercise No. 6
Volatility: Distillation and Determination of Boiling Point

I. OBJECTIVES

1. To separate a mixture of substances using distillation.

2. To determine the boiling point of a liquid.

II. RESULTS AND INFERENCE

Results Inference

A. Comparison of Volatility by Rate of Evaporation In this experiment we are testing the

volatility rate of some organic compounds.

chemical bonds in the molecules.
In this part of the experiment the observer
B. Distillation of Water and Boiling Point Determination are distilling water and determining its
boiling point determination. As you can

the boiling point of water, when the

temperature is near 100°C the water
6 mL 99°c starts to evaporate producing what called
distilled water.
