Problems:<br />

1- Calculate the R f values for the following compounds:<br />

(a) Spot,5 cm; solvent front, 20cm<br />

(b) Spot,3 cm; solvent front,12 cm<br />

(c) Spot,9.8cm;solvent front,12cm<br />

Technique 6<br />

Distillation:<br />

Distillation is a general technique used for removing a solvent, purifying a<br />

liquid or separation the components of a liquid mixture. In distillation, liquid is<br />

vaporized by boiling, then condensed back to a liquid, called the distillate or<br />

condensate, and collected in a separate flask.<br />

Types of distillation:<br />

1-Fractional distillation<br />

Miscible liquids are much more difficult to separate. Mixtures of<br />

miscible liquids can be separated by fractional distillation. It will provide the<br />

boiling points of the liquids are not too close.<br />

If we want to separate a mixture of ethanol and water. The diagram<br />

below is suitable for this process. The fractionating column is packed with glass<br />
