will “condense” and enter the liquid state again. This would be a distillation. Atmospheric pressure is approximately 760 mm Hg; i.e., the weight of a column of mercury measuring 1 mm2 and 760 mm tall. This equates to about 29.7 inches of mercury. If we reduce the pressure above the sample that we are heating, we can reduce the boiling point of the liquid. This is referred to as a vacuum distillation or carrying out a distillation in vacuo. For example, while water boils at 100oC (or 212° F) at 760

For rice husk, The TG and DTG curves in Fig. 2 and 3 shows that there are three main peaks during the combustion process and each one has a clear burnout temperature. The first peak at the temperature of 100℃ is observed due to the evaporation of moisture and volatilization of small organic molecules deposited onto rice husk surfaces. The second peak with a maximum weight loss rate of 12.56%/min at temperature of 296℃results from continuous evaporation of moisture and loss of volatiles contained

Chromatography is commonly used to separate mixtures to determine different chemical components. The main types of chromatography include gas, thin layer, paper and column chromatography. Generally used most, paper has a stationery phase and a mobile phase in a chromatographical experiment. The stationery phase is the paper itself absorbing the solvent, while the mobile phase is the solute moving up the strip of paper. Solvents are solids, liquids or gasses that dissolve the solute, in this instance

EXPERIMENT 3 GROUP B AIM: To find the overall efficiency of plate column operating under total reflux, for a binary system (iso-propanol & n- propanol). APPARATUS: * Distillation Column with reboiler * Automatic digital refractometer * Two fluids with different volatilities. PROCEDURE: * Distillation column was filled with the two fluids. * Then we switched on the heater and set the temperature to 126.6 ̊C * And then we allow the system to reach the equilibrium.

INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SETTINGS / DESIGNER CASE STUDY RESEARCH TASK FASHION DESIGN Fashion design - brand : CHANEL History of Chanel No.5 Chanel No.5 is the first perfume launched by French couturier Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in 5 May, 1921. The chemical formula for the fragrance was compounded by French-Russian chemist and perfumer Ernest Beaux. The number 5 to Coco Chanel means good luck. She released this perfume on the 5th day of the 5th month and it's main sent is May rose and

preserves the reagent by chilling the vapors. At the end of reflux, the mixture contained the products of each starting material. The mixture goes through reflux first because simple distillation does not allow enough time for the reaction to reach completion before separation. The solution goes through simple distillation after reflux to separate the products using the boiling points. For 1-propanol, the boiling point is around 97°C. Boiling point for 1-propanol is higher than the product produced

This lab explored techniques in steam-distillation to extract clove oil from ground cloves. In the second part of the experiment, designed by the students, eugenol was isolated from clove oil via chemically active extraction, using acid-base chemistry. This isolated compound was analyzed via Infrared Spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography. Eugenol, eugenol acetate and caryophyllene (Figure 1) were isolated from ground cloves via steam distillation. To do this, 5.04g of ground cloves were added to a

Moonshine in Appalachia: A Constant Thread in the Tapestry of Mountain Life My sister recently shared with me a little known fact of our grandparents’ lives in Kentucky as young parents. They were involved in the illegal manufacture and sale of alcoholic spirits, also known as moonshining (Brown). Having known our grandparents to be very peaceful, law abiding citizens in their elder years, I find this revelation of illegal activity oddly fascinating. I want to understand how and why our grandparents
