DETERMINATION OF ALCOHOL IN COSSACK VODKA BY MEANS OF SIMPLE DISTILLATION ABSTRACT: Cossack Vodka is distilled liquor composed primarily of water and ethyl alcohol or ethanol (CH3CH2OH) without a definite aroma or taste. Alcohol is a primary content of vodka, and distillation – a process involving condensation and evaporation wherein solvents of different boiling points are separated from each other – is a method that may be used to determine the certain presence of Alcohol content in Cossack

Bituminous materials consists of bitumen which is a black or dark colored solid or viscous cementitious substances consists chiefly high molecular weight hydrocarbons derived from distillation of petroleum or natural asphalt, has adhesive properties, and is soluble in carbon disulphide. Tars are residues from the destructive distillation of organic substances such as coal, wood, or petroleum and are temperature sensitive than bitumen. Bitumen will be dissolved in petroleum oils where unlike tar. Importance

Simple and Fractional Distillation I. Introduction Distillation is one of the oldest and still most common methods for both the purification and the identification of organic liquids. It is a physical process used to separate chemicals from a mixture by the difference in how easily they vaporize. As the mixture is heated, the temperature rises until it reaches the temperature of the lowest boiling substance in the mixture, while the other components of the mixture remain in their original

different boiling points allows us to separate them. The process of heating a substance until it is vaporized, cooling the vapors, and collecting the condensed liquid is the basis of a commonly used purification technique called distillation. Method: The fractional distillation apparatus was set-up as shown in the illustration and was approved by the TA. 50 mL of wine was added into the flask along with boiling chips and the flask was then placed into the heating mantel. A flow of cold water was set-up

hexane and toluene using the process of simple distillation. This was collected 3times each at different temperature and after collecting each distillate the refractive index was found of the distillate. Procedure The procedure is the same as Dr. Kelley provided and there were no changes made to it. Data | Fractional index | Temperature | First distillation | 1.3820 | 670c | Second distillation | 1.4656 | 1000c | Third distillation | 1.4851 | 1070c | Calculations X (1.3745)

The Determination of Percentage Ethanol from Gin Vodka by Simple Distillation *Bejasa,B. ; Beltran,R. ; Bombase,M. ; Bunyi,C. ; Canlas,L. 2BMT Abstract Vodka is composed primarily of water and ethanol with traces of impurities and flavourings and naturally has an alcoholic content of 38-40% by volume. This experiment aimed to determine the percent ethanol of the vodka through simple distillation. A 30mL of the sample was collected and heated through the use of alcohol lamp. A collection of

Introduction Distillation is a procedure that has been used for many centuries as a separation technique to isolate liquids with different boiling points and vapor pressure. The idea of distillation generally involves the conversion of a solvent into a vapor then back to a solvent based on vapor pressure. The liquid with the lowest boiling point and highest vapor pressure would be collected first (Weldegirma,2017). There are various distillation methods, however the two methods utilize in this experiment

Distillation and Gas Chromatography Goal: The goal of today’s experiment is to collect three different fractions for each distillation by separating two different volatile solutions. Once the fractions are collected, we will record the boiling point range and perform a gas chromatography an original mixture along with the three different fractions that were collected. Significance: This lab is very important if someone needs to separate two different volatile solutions. They can do the simple

INTRODUCTION Distillation is a technique widely used in organic chemistry for separating compounds based on differences in their boiling points. The experiment is divided into two parts: simple distillation, an easy set-up where a solution or a mixture of substances with different volatility is separated through exposure heat; and fractional distillation, which under goes a series of evaporation and condensation process to purify more complex mixtures. Raoult and Dalton Law are the two principles
