There is no record of who discovered the process of making distilled water. One of the earliest recordings of the process was in 400-300 BC in Aristotle's Meteorologica with no recording of the creator.

What laboratory apparatus used to hold the test tube in distillation?

A clamp or test tube holder is typically used to hold a test tube in distillation setups to secure it in place during the distillation process.

Distillation set up?

A distillation set up involves a boiling flask over a Bunson burner. This is connected to a distillation tube the flows into a beaker.


Why is it important that the inner tube is kept cold during distillation?

Keeping the inner tube cold during distillation helps to condense the vapor back into a liquid form. This allows for the separation and collection of the desired compounds, and prevents them from escaping with the waste gases. Cooling the inner tube also helps to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the distillation process.


What is the problem with using a simple distillation apparatus a glass tube?

The problem with distillation is how to turn all of the hot vapour back into liquid. A simple distillation experiment using just a glass tube as a condenser, rather than a Liebig one, loses most of the steam.


What is the function of the safety tube in steam distillation?

The safety tube in steam distillation serves to prevent excessive pressure buildup in the distillation apparatus. It allows any excess steam to escape, preventing potential hazards such as explosion or damage to the equipment.

How is the distillate collected in a test tube microscale distillation?

In a test tube microscale distillation setup, the distillate is collected by attaching a small test tube or vial to the condenser. As the vapor condenses, it drips down into the attached container. The test tube is placed in an ice bath to further condense the vapor and facilitate collection.


Why should the end of the delivery tube be above the distillate?

Having the end of the delivery tube above the distillate in a distillation setup helps prevent the distillate from being sucked back into the boiling flask due to any potential vacuum created when the distillation process stops. It also helps to avoid contamination of the distillate with any residue that may be present in the delivery tube.
