Distillation Analysis
1. **Problem Statement:** Analyze the distillation data to understand the relationship between temperature and distillation rate, calculate mass of distilled liquid, and interpret refractive index and boiling point data.
2. **Calculate mass of distilled liquid:**
- Empty vial + cap mass = 14.79 g
- Vial + 5 mL distilled liquid mass = 18.440 g
- Mass of 5 mL distilled liquid = 18.440 g - 14.79 g = 3.65 g
3. **Calculate density of distilled liquid:**
- Given density = 0.73 g/mL (from data)
- Check density using mass and volume: density = mass/volume = 3.65 g / 5 mL = 0.73 g/mL (confirms given density)
4. **Distillation rate vs temperature:**
- At 40°C: 12 drops/min, 3 2/3 of vial collected
- At 42°C: 15 drops/min
- At 45°C: 22 drops/min
- At 47°C: 30 drops/min
This shows distillation rate increases with temperature.
5. **Refractive index data:**
- Temperature = 24.35°C
- Refractive index of water (n_water) = 1.402
- Measured refractive index (n_20) = 1.4039
6. **Boiling point data:**
- Measured boiling point = 69.4°C
- Corrected boiling point = 69.65°C
7. **Summary:**
- Mass and density calculations confirm the distilled liquid properties.
- Distillation rate increases with temperature.
- Refractive index slightly higher than water, indicating purity or composition.
- Boiling point correction applied for accuracy.
Final answers:
- Mass of distilled liquid = 3.65 g
- Density = 0.73 g/mL
- Boiling point corrected = 69.65°C
- Refractive index at 24.35°C = 1.4039
