AGLV3 DESTILAÇÃO SIMPLES

Algetec

About this app

1. OBJECTIVE
This experiment explores the process of separating homogeneous mixtures through simple distillation. You will use specific glassware and accessories to separate the copper II sulfate contained in an aqueous solution of copper II sulfate at 0.3 mol. L-1 (0.3M).


At the end of this experiment, you should be able to:

describe the distillation process used to separate homogeneous mixtures;

select and use glassware and apparatus specific to the distillation process.

2. WHERE TO USE THESE CONCEPTS?
Distillation methods are commonly used in the chemical and petrochemical industries. Simple distillation is commonly used in the sugar and alcohol industries, in the production of fuels and distillates such as cachaça, wines and other drinks. The production of artisanal cachaça is common in the country, mainly on farms and inland cities.


3. THE EXPERIMENT
In this experiment you will use a distillation apparatus consisting of: distillation flask, straight condenser and Erlenmeyer flask, heating blanket and thermometer. Separation of the homogeneous mixture will occur with the aqueous solution of copper sulfate.


4. SECURITY
The experiment does not present a toxic risk as the solution used has a low concentration and is not very harmful. Even so, you can only carry out the experiment using gloves and a lab coat.


5. SCENARIO
The experiment environment will feature the distillation apparatus mounted next to the sink. The solution to be distilled must be added to the distillation flask, which in turn is heated by the heating mantle.
