Conclusion:
Post-Lab Questions: Why is it important to have a boiling chip present in the boiling flask when distilling liquid mixtures?
What role does the steel wool serve in the fractional distillation setup used during the experiment?
During the beginning of the distillation experiment (either simple or distillation), what compound in the starting water-methanol mixture predominates in the distillate? Briefly explain why.
As the distillation continues, eventually the observed temperature of the vapor will approach but never exceed 100°C (assuming there is nothing wrong with the thermometer, no bubbles in the alcohol column, etc). Why is 100°C the upper limit observable in the experiment?
