Science Prep • Book 2 Name: …………………………………………… Experiments: Worksheet 27 Chapter 13: Demonstrating distillation In this experiment you will learn how to collect a solvent from a solution using a method called distillation. Apparatus 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Safety Take care when using the Bunsen burner – it may burn you. Instructions We have already looked at how to get the pure common salt from a common salt solution but sometimes we need to collect the solvent, e.g. in obtaining pure water from sea water. Evaporation followed by condensation is called distillation. Distillation: this is collecting a solvent from a solution. © Galore Park Publishing Ltd. May be photocopied for classroom use only.

Science Prep • Book 2 Name: …………………………………………… Your teacher will demonstrate this experiment using the apparatus (a Liebig condenser) shown below: Thermometer Cold water out Liebig condenser Solution Anti-bumping granules Cold water in HEAT Distillate Questions 1. From the experiment you observe, write down the temperature shown on the thermometer. °C 2. Why is the cold water put in at the bottom of the condenser? . 3. Explain why this method separates the pure water from the salt solution. © Galore Park Publishing Ltd. May be photocopied for classroom use only.
