Science

Today in science we used coke for our experiment, we poured coke into something called a conical flask, which we used to transfer the coke into the test tube that is cooling down in the cup of ice.

First we inserted the Bunsen burner to the helium gas pipe which we turned on and then we lit the fire above the Bunsen burner

Aim: To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation

Equipment: A solution of salt water, conical flask, heatproof mat, a delivery tube and bung.

Method: 

1.  Set up the equipment as shown in the diagram.
2.  Add approximately 50 ml of salt water to your conical flask.
3.  Light your Bunsen burner. Open the air hole and gently push the Bunsen burner under the tripod 
4. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated. Turn off you Bunsen burner.
