What is the best fractionating column for ethanol distillation using lab glass?
For distillation of ethanol in a lab glass setup, a fractional column with good separation efficiency and a high surface area is recommended. A Vigreux column or a fractional column packed with glass beads or Raschig rings can be good choices for this application. The choice will depend on the specific requirements of the distillation process and the available equipment.
4 Why is it dangerous to heat a liquid in a distilling apparatus that is closed tightly at every joint and has no vent to the atmosphere?
A risk of explosion exist.
Explain the differences between fractional and simple distillation which is more efficient how the efficiency could be enhanced What is the purpose of adding boiling stones?
The difference is that simple distillation will be used to separate substances within mixtures that have significantly different boiling points; whereas, with fractional distillation, the boiling points are closer and separation must be cared for differently. This is the reason why you must employ the use of an additional piece of apparatus called the fractionating column when undergoing fractional distillation. Based on what is stated above, the more efficient method would have to be Fractional Distillation because it essentially separates the parts of the mixture much more precisely. You could enhance fractional distillation by using boiling stones. The reason for adding the boiling stones is to calm down the boiling of the liquid mixture. You really do not want the boiling to become too violent as is the case with "bumping" which is when the air pressure inside the liquid increases so rapidly that it will literally BUMP the glass while it is trying to expel the excess air pressure. Normally only th air will be relieced out from the opening of the container such as the top (ie. the surface of the liquid), but too much air and too little surface area at the top will cause air to be reliese radially outward and strike the sides of the container. Just try boiling eggs real fast with the stove on high and never turn it down; you'll see it happen.
Why do you use glass retort in laboratory preparation of Nitric acid?
Because hot nitric acid attacks the rubber or cork stoppers used to connect a distillation flask to a condenser. This results in contaminated acid and leaks fumes. Retorts are single all glass objects and typically are equipped with a glass stopper . The alternative to using a retort is using ground glass joints in the distillation flask to Condenser setup and those are much more expensive than just a simple retort. Water filled condensers are more efficient sure. But for just a lecture demonstration of the process, a retort is easier to set up and use.

What are the difference between of laboratory apparatus of glass wood metal rubber?
Glass laboratory apparatus are usually resistant to acids. Wood laboratory apparatus are usually used for mixing dry elements. Metal laboratory apparatus are for mixing liquid elements and rubber apparatus are usually used for testing and measuring.
Why must a container be sealed in distillation?
Short answer: Distillation heats a liquid mixture and then cools the vapor that boils off to recover the more volatile portion of the original mixture. If you have a leaky apparatus you can lose a lot of this volatile portion because it will leak into the atmosphere before it has a chance to condense into your receiving vessel. This wastes energy and can create a fire or explosion hazard if you are distilling flammable liquids. It will create health or environmental problems if you are working with toxic materials or materials that are harmful to the environment. Long answer: Distillation works by either heating a liquid to produce vapor or reducing the pressure over a liquid to make it boil into a vapor at a lower temperatures. The vapor must be condensed by cooling to recover the "distallate" product you are after. With heated distillation you will lose much of the vapor through before you can condense it if you have a leaky apparatus. This is especially true if the distillation occurs at high pressures. For vacuum distillation you may not be able to create enough vacuum to cause the liquid mixture to boil if there are any large leaks or you will waste a lot of power creating the needed vacuum pressure in a leaky distillation column.
