Distillation experiment



Aim: To separate a solute from solvent in a solution using distillation.


Equipment: Coke or coke zero, conical flask, heatproof mat, a delivery tube, bung, element, retort, boss head,clamp, 
boiling tube. 

Setup the equipment as shown in diagram.Add approximately 50ml of coke to your conical flask. Turn on 
the element. Heat the Coke until most of the it has been evaporated and turned into a clear liquid in the over tube. Turn off your element.

Observations: At the start the coke started to bubble and the bubbles went to the side of the flask, After the 
flask had condensation. Soon the coke really started boiling and it started creating a liquid in the boiling tube.  At the end there will be brown sticky sugar left over. The coke had quite a bit of sugar left over and surprisingly the coke zero also had sugar left over.
