Experiment 3: Fermentation and Distillation of Ethanol
1.
What liquids are being distilled today? How many fractions of distillate are collected for
the fractional distillation and what boiling points are expected?
There will be two different liquid that will be distilled in the lab, one of which will be
ethanol. Ethanol is an organic compound as well as a type of alcohol that can easily be
fermented, it has a boiling point of 78.4 . The other liquid that will be distilled is water,
℃
the most common substance on Earth which boils at 100 . In this lab, there will be
℃
three different fractions of distillate used, the expected boiling points are 77 - 80 ,
℃
℃
80 - 96 , and a boiling point above 96 .

2.
What is an azeotrope? What is the boiling point of the azeotrope expected for the
distillation of ethanol?
The definition of an azeotrope a solution is which the two liquids that are combined and
then distilled has the same boiling point. For the distillation of the ethanol there is an
expected azeotrope boiling point of 78.2 to be expected as the boiling point of ethanol
℃
is approximately 78.4 .
℃
3.
Why is it important to grease the joints of the distillation apparatus?
It is critical to grease the joints of the distillation apparatus because it helps create an
airtight seal between all of the components. This seal is so critical as it prevents vapors
created from escaping the system as well as the fact that it makes clean up less difficult
for the person performing the lab. The way in which it makes it less difficult is that after
the vacuum is applied, having grease on the joints will allow the person performing the
lab to take the distillation apparatus apart.
4.
How will you determine the percent alcohol in the distillate?
The percent alcohol in the distillate will be determined through the density of the
distillate. The reference table will be used to compare to the density calculated after the distillation process had been completed.

Fractional distillation
Measure 55 mL of 40% ethanol
Place 50 mL of ethanol in your distilling flask taking care that no liquid enters the side arm.
Place the remaining 5 mL of ethanol in a test tube and set aside for procedure 2.
Add a few marble or porcelain chips to the distilling flask to prevent bumping. Bumping is a term given to irregular boiling
Assemble the rest of the apparatus for a simple distillation set-up. You may ask assistance from your instructor
Cover the top of the distilling flask with a cork fitted with a thermometer. Make sure that the tip of the thermometer bulb is just below the side arm of the distillation flask
Check all connections for tightness
Heat the contents of the flask to boiling. Adjust the flame when the sample is already boiling. Make sure that it does not boil to dryness.
Note the temperature of the first drop.
Collect 60 drops of distillate per test tube. You will need 5 test tubes, thus five…

3. Standard white vinegar you can buy in the grocery store is 5% concentration. That means 5% of the liquid vinegar is acetic acid and 95% of the solution is water. In a hardware store, you can buy industrial
strength vinegar, which is 30% concentration. This means that 30% of the vinegar is acetic acid, and the remaining 70% is water.
Samuel does another experiment, this time with 5% vinegar and 30% vinegar. He sets up two science fair volcanoes (in no particular order), each with the same temperature, mass of baking soda and volume of
vinegar. But one volcano uses 5% vinegar and the other volcano uses 30% vinegar. He measures the volume of gas production for the first minute of each reaction, and he records the data below.
