Answers
Materials:
Table salt
Tablespoon
Sand
Tap water
Basin
Distilling flask
Thermometer
Liebig condenser
Stand
250ml beaker
Rubber tubing
Rubber stopper
Bunsen burner or electric burner
Two stands
Tripod
Two clamps
Camera
Paper towels (for cleanup)
Experimental Procedure:
Gather all the materials you will need for this science project. You may wish to include a camera and take photos to include in your report and use on your display charts.
Put on your safety equipment.
Set up the distillation apparatus and shown in the diagram below.
Start by filling you r beaker with tap water and add one tablespoon of salt. Mix well. Pour the salt water into the distilling flask
Place sand in the basin and now place the distilling flask into the sand before you start heating it.
Carefully place the burner under the flask.
Connect the distilling flask to one end of the Liebig's condenser.
Place the condenser so that it slopes downward and that it other end is directly above the beaker.
Bring the salt solution to a boil. Keep an eye on that thermometer
Collect the water vapor that is now turning into liquid water.
Observe. You will find the water is tasteless and has no distinct odor.
Write up your experiment. You may wish to include photos of the apparatus. Be certain to include your bibliography.
