Chapter 4.3, Problem 2E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Completely labeled apparatus that is required for simple distillation should be determined.

Concept introduction: Simple distillation is a separation technique that is used to separate a mixture of organic compounds with the difference in their boiling points more than $40°\text{C}$ . In other words, this procedure is applied for the removal of nonvolatile impurities from volatile solvents. If one of the compounds in an organic mixture is volatile, its vapors will form first and are converted into liquid with help of condenser. This way all of volatile compound gets converted into liquid and therefore it is separated from nonvolatile component.
