 Aim:To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation
 Method:
   1. Set up the equipment shown in the diagram
   2. Add approximately 50 ml of water and a few drops of food colouring 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 evaporated. Turn off your Bunsen burner.


Results:
 - We saw the coke evaporating and when it went up the delivery tube it turned into water.

 Discussion:
 We first added the solution into the conical flask. Then we make the solution boil and evaporate the solvent by heating it with a Bunsen burner. We noticed that the solvent is boiling. Heating it makes moist and we noticed that gas was coming up the conical flask into the delivery tube. Then when it was travelling(?) into the delivery tube we saw water, clear water flowing through the delivery tube. Then the water vapour condensed down into the test tube. The ice was there to keep the bottom of the test tube cool which helped the water vapour turn into liquid As it kept doing the process we saw the solute down at the bottom which was the sugar left by the solvent. This process is called distillation
