Distillation: Chemistry

 

Distillation:

Separating a solution/mixture using evaporation + condensation.

Distillation: Is the scientific experiment used to show the processes of evaporation and condensation.  

Evaporation: Is when a liquid turns into gas, by heating up the liquid.

Condensation: Is when a gas is turned into a liquid, by cooling the gas down.

Experiment/Aim: Separating coke + sugar free coke to see how much sugar is present.

Hypothesis: I think that classic coke will have more sugar than the sugar free or diet coke.

Method:

- Heat up coke - until all liquid is evaporated, trapping the gas in a tube.

- Use ice around test tube to condense the gas.

 

distilation Result for diet coke: 

While the diet coke was heating the liquid inside started to evaporate and transfer the water into the test tube which was inside the beaker with ice inside. The evaporated liquid in the form of gas travelled across the straw into the test tube becoming liquid because there was ice in the beaker which cooled down the gas and the gas condensed into water(liquid). Resulting the sugar was left into the conicle flask.
