A distillation flask is a piece of laboratory equipment that holds a substance to be distilled. The advantage of using a distillation flask whose capacity is greater than volume of liquid is the loss of heat.

A faster rate of distillation runs the risk of introducing contaminants into the distillate. This is because to increase the distillation, the temperature would have to be raised which might cause impurities to boil and thus join the distillate vapor.

The more the volume of the flask, the more the lost liquid condensing on the inner walls of it,thus affecting our data and reducing accuracy!

If you use such a flask, you will not obtain the accuracy that would be possible with a smaller flask. The lines are closer together, and there are less of them.

Are sterile water and sterile distilled water the same?

no. Distilled water has had all chemicals and minerals removed, usually by steaming and re-condensation. Sterile water has been treated, usually heat treated, to destroy pathogens (any living organisms). So, you can sterilize distilled water, but not all distilled water is sterile. manufacturing criteria do NOT require that regular distilled water be packaged to prevent contamination. Water sold as sterile water must be packaged to avoid contamination. On the other hand, water full of minerals can be sterilized; the minerals are still present. So if you want mineral free, organism free water, you need sterile distilled; if just mineral free, distilled.

The liquid part of the body?

Well, there is liquid everywhere in your body. The liquid part of blood is plasma. The liquid outside of the circulatory system and cells is the interstitial fluid. The liquid inside of your cells is called cytosol.


3 types of tonicity on a cell?

The three type are hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic. Hypertonic is when the tonicity of the cell is lower than that of the surrounding liquid, isotonic is when the tonicity of the cell is equal to that of the surrounding liquid, and hypotonic is when the tonicity of the cell is greater than that of the surrounding liquid.

Why is separation by filering better than distilling?

Filtering is when a (cold) liquid is slowly passed through a filter, to remove impurities. Distilling is the heating of a liquid into steam (vapour) that is led away and condensed back into a liquid, so leaving impurities behind. Therefore, distilling, because of the need for heat, is more expensive to do, though may be better if a large volume is to be processed.

What is a flash zone in a distillation process?

Flash zone is the area between the liquid or substace being distilled, the gas forming at the top and the vapor inbetwwen them both. Usually the liquid being distilled is a flammable liquid, And the gas is less flammable without the peffect conditions but the vapor in between needs less conditions to ignite and will do so with usually just high temperatures or friction. That is why distilling stations hage cooling racks built into them so the vapor is too cold to ignite.

How do you know when to stop distilling?

You stop distilling when the temperature no longer changes and there is a small amount of liquid left in the boiling flask. You should not boil it dry as it will weaken the glass and it may break.


What kinds of mixtures can be separated by distillation?

Fluid mixtures, and mixtures of substances in different phases, that differ in their boiling points, can be separated by distillation. For instance: Sand and water (solid/water mix) by evaporating (distilling) the water away from the sand. Alcohol and water (liquid/liquid solution) can be fractionally distilled, collecting the alcohol first and then the water, which boils at a higher temperature. CO2 and water (gas/liquid solution) can be be fractionally distilled also. Evaporating sea water (solid/liquid solution) to crystallize the salt, although, this leaves a mixture of salts which can't be separated by normal distillation.
