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

Hypothesis:

I think its gonna evaporate and I think there would be no sugar.


Equipment:

  1. Set up the equipment as shown in the diagram.
  1.  Add approximately 50 mL of saltwater to your conical flask.
  1.  Light your Bunsen burner. Open the air hole and gently push the Bunsen burner under the tripod.

Result: The coke was boiling because the heat was under the beaker and the water of the coke was evaporating from sugar and left the sugar behind.




Discussion first we put the coke on the heat and then when the coke started boiling and then it made bubbles and then the coke started evaporating and the liquid in the boiling tube was so clear and that called condense.


Conclusion: I was wrong because the water turned to gas and the sugar left behind.
