Why are the first few drops in the distillation of cyclohexane-toluene cloudy?

Look at the make-up of the compound, probably when it reacts it then looses part of itself and mixes or changes into another compound which is the white distillate, but i'd say just study what elements how it's made up and you should find the cause.

Explain why the distillate from the steam distillation was turbid especially early in the distillation?
Steam distillation is a process used to separate a compound that contains immiscible liquids. Because these organic substances are insoluble, the distillate from the steam distillation process will be turbid at the beginning of the process.
Which liquid would be the first to be collected in the fractional distillation?
fractional distillation this is a liquid with the lowest boiling point
What comes out first in fractional distillation of petroleum?
First are distilled compounds with low boiling points.
How is distillation used to separate a mixture of liquids of different boiling points?
The process of separation is called distillation.
Why are gasoline and propane removed near the top of a distillation tower?
Smaller alkane molecule have higher vapor pressure. They 'cook off' first from a mixture and will be found nearer the top of the distillation column than the larger ones.

When was distillation first used?
1938
What is the first step of indirectly proving this statement it is cloudy out side?
Assume it is cloudy outside , then you are inside

Why does nitrogen boils first during fractional distillation of liquid air?
Oxygen is the first to boil.
Is it normal for you saltwater fish tank to be cloudy at first because I just set up my fish tank and it is cloudy but I am not sure if it is normal?
no its not okay
How do you separate gases the air?
The best process for the separation of components of air is fractional distillation of air. The process includes the liquefaction of air first and then distillation of various fractions on the basis of different boiling points. By using this process, all the components of air can be separated out.
Why distillation is not used often for cleaning water?
Because when water is distilled it losses all the essentials salts and minerals.
What was the first thing that fell from the sky from the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs book?
food
How do you eliminate water in ethanol after first distillation?
chemical dryer - a very hygroscopic dessicant
