1. What type of distillation does your instructor used for this experiment? Simple distillation

2. Instead of boiling chips, your instructor used glass shards. What is the purposeof boiling

chips in a distillation setup? You can research the internet or any otherresources you want. Cite

your references.

Boiling chips are small, insoluble, porous stones made of calciumcarbonate or

silicon carbide. These stones have pores inside whichprovidecavities both to trap air and

to provide spaces where bubbles of solvent vaporcan form. These bubbles ensure even

boiling and prevent bumping andboilingover and loss of the solution. Always use a boiling

chip when heating asolvent.Never add a boiling chip to a solvent which is already hot,

because it cancause to solvent to boil over violently. If you forget to add a boiling

chipbefore you begin, you must cool the solution before adding one to prevent product

loss. Boiling chips cannot be re-used since the pores inside thesestones become filled with

liquid on cooling

3. Why do you think the distillation was stopped at about 80-83 °C?

So that it not become superheated or bumping also to distilledit properly.

2. In a separate sheet, draw a steam distillation setup and label its parts.
