. Distillation Guide
Overview:
Distillation is an extremely useful technique that is used to purify reagents and separate
crude product mixtures. There are two varieties of distillation - atmospheric pressure and reduced
pressure. The former is easier, while the latter involves some plicated techniques. Both
types will be explored in .
Glassware:
Distillations require special glassware that is unique to this technique. There are several
types of set-ups, but we will use only two. In both cases we will use a short path distillation head,
varying only in the use of a Vigreux column. Even though we won't use other set-ups in , you
should e familiar with them through your reading.
Steps for Running an Atmospheric Pressure Distillation:
1) Collect the necessary glassware: short path distillation head, thermometer and
adapter, receiving flasks (at least two), Vigreux column (opt
