Question

Above is a fractional distillation set up. Name five things wrong with the set up.

 

**Vacuum Distillation Setup** Vacuum distillation is a technique utilized to distill liquids at reduced pressures, allowing substances to boil at temperatures lower than their standard boiling points. This setup minimizes thermal decomposition of temperature-sensitive materials. **Components and Process:** 1. **Flask Heater** - The distilling flask is placed on a flask heater, which heats the liquid to be distilled. - The heater is connected directly to an electric circuit, ensuring controlled and consistent heating. 2. **Distilling Flask** - This is the primary container where the liquid mixture is heated. - The flask has a three-way connecting tube attached to facilitate the distillation process. 3. **Three-way Connecting Tube** - This tube connects the distilling flask to the thermometer adaptor and thin condenser, directing vapor flow. 4. **Thermometer Adaptor** - Located on top of the three-way connecting tube, it holds the thermometer in place to monitor vapor temperature. 5. **Thin Condenser** - As the vapor travels through, it cools and condenses back into liquid form. - The condenser has water inlets and outlets to enable water circulation for cooling. 6. **Water In and Out** - Cooling water flows through the condenser, entering from one end (water in) and exiting from the other (water out), ensuring efficient condensation of the vapor. 7. **Vacuum Connecting Tube** - Connects the condenser to the receiving flask and the vacuum source, maintaining reduced pressure in the system. 8. **Receiving Flask** - The condensed liquid (distillate) collects in this flask. - The receiving flask contains boiling chips to prevent superheating and bumping during distillation. 9. **Beaker of Ice/Water** - The receiving flask is often placed in a beaker filled with ice and water to further aid in the condensation of the vapor. 10. **Vacuum Source** - The vacuum connection directs to a vacuum pump or source, lowering the pressure inside the system. Each component works in conjunction to ensure an effective distillation process, making it suitable for the separation of components based on their boiling points, particularly those with high boiling points or sensitive to heat.
