1.Why is distillation able to separate different compounds? How do fractional distillation and steam distillation differ from a simple distillation? How are you able to determine if the separation ivas successful, both during and after the experiment? 2. Using SciFinder or another source, find a procedure for purifying a chemical using distillation and comment on its similarities and differences with the experiment you performed. List the reference including the doi or web address. 3. Draw a figure of a distillation apparatus and label the following: condenser, direction of water flow, thermometer, receiving flask, clamps. 4. Properly analyze your IRs (according to Experiment 5) and attach them to the end of your lab report. What are the components of your unknown binary mixture? Briefly explain how you determined this using your IR analysis and the boiling point you obtained of each liquid (i.e., compare your experimentally determined boiling point to the literature boiling point). Be specific; for example, a good discussion would be, "The peak at X cm'' in the IR spectrum for fraction 1 indicates that the compound has a Y functional group. Therefore, the compound must be a, b, or c... continue..." instead of "The IR spectrum and boiling point for fraction 1 indicate that the compound is a."
