Chemistry Reflux Reflux is a distillation technique involving the condensation of vapours and the return of this condensate to the system from which it originated. It is used in chemistry to supply energy to reactions over a long period of time. You should never allow the top of the condenser to be stoppered because if you attempt to heat sealed glass apparatus it may explode. Also, you should heat gently because there is a huge risk

of the product cyclohexene, from the reactant cyclohexanol with the aid of a catalyst phosphoric acid4 Next a distillation apparatus had to be assembled, using a 25-mL round bottom flask as a receiving flask, this flask was then placed into a beaker of ice water refer to figure 1. Figure 1: Distillation apparatus5 Distillation is used in order to dehydrate the cyclohexanol. After the apparatus was assembled we circulated the cooling water in the condenser, while heating

2.6.4 Vacuum drying Amellal and Benamara (2008) investigated the drying ability of date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) pulp cubes from three Algerian common varieties (Mech - Degla, Degla - Beida, and Frezza). Drying process was carried out under partial vacuum (200 mbar) at 60, 80, and 100° C. Compared to the Newton model, the Henderson and Pabis model better described drying kinetic of Mech - Degla and Frezza pulps at 60 and 80° C with a mean relative error (MRE) not higher than 6.07%. The same model

The purpose is to find which liquid would be the most effective in dissolving blow pops. In the previous year, research has shown that the two different type of substances, polar and nonpolar affects whether something would dissolve. In this lab, we will test Blow-Pops into 4 different liquids, water, oil, soda, and vinegar to see which would be the most effective. First, we put the Blow-Pops into the different cups provided with the different liquids, then, we observe and check after every five

great amount of fuel needed to heat the various kettles. Rillieux wanted to improve this process for the better and knew just how. During his time in France, Rillieux had witnessed the introduction of the steam-powered single pan vacuum, this vacuum pan was enclosed in an area with the air removed, this was essential because liquids can boil at lower temperatures when air is not present, thus costing less. Rillieux decided to improve greatly on this efficiency by including a second and later a

depending upon the method of preparation. * Alcohol is obtained by fermenting a liquid containing sugar. * The word alcohol came from the Arabic word ‘ al-kohl’ which referred to any fine powder that was applied to essences obtained by distillation by the alchemists of medieval Europe. Fermentation is the process in which a liquid containing sugar is acted upon by yeast which converts the sugar into alcohol and gives off carbon dioxide. * E.g. Grape juice- Wine
