(ii) What would happen if the student does not correct his mistake? Why?

The apparatus would blow up. Air pressure would build up in the apparatus.

(c) Identify the apparatus labelled A, B and C. In each piece of apparatus, at least one change of
state has occurred. Name these processes.

Apparatus Process(es)
A: Round-bottomed flask Evaporation/boiling
B: Fractionating column Evaporation/boiling and condensation
C: Condenser Condensation

(d) Assume the apparatus is now set up correctly.

(i) Sketch a graph to show the temperature at point P against time during the experiment.

Temperature at point P/°C

156

132

0 Time/min

(ii) Explain the temperature changes in the graph you obtained in (d)(i).
When the mixture of chlorobenzene and bromobenzene is heated, its temperature increases

until it reaches 132°C, the boiling point of chlorobenzene. The temperature remains at 132°C

until all the chlorobenzene has distilled over. The temperature then rises until it reaches

156°C, the boiling point of bromobenzene. The temperature remains at 156°C until all the

bromobenzene has distilled over.
