Experiment #3 compounds EA = ethyl acetateCH3CO2CH2CH3 EP = ethyl propionateCH3CH2CO2CH2CH3 b.p. = 77oC b.p. = 99oC
Where would you expect the boiling point of a mixture of ethyl acetate and ethyl propionate?
See Techniques 2 and 3 Where would you expect the boiling point of a mixture of ethyl acetate and ethyl propionate?
Boiling Point - Composition for a Liquid-Liquid Mixture Raoult’s Law “mixture of two liquids will have a b.p. that is between the b.ps. of the pure liquids” PX = PoXNX where PX is the partial pressure of X PoX is vapor pressure of pure X NX is the mole fraction of X in mixture (Exception: Azeotropes)
Assume a mixture of x moles of EA and y moles of EP What would be the mole ratio? What would be the mole fraction of EA in the mixture?
Boiling Point - Composition for EA - EP mixture Total vapor pressure of mixture “Ptotal” is the sum of the partial pressures due to EA and EP. Ptotal = PEA + PEP If “Ptotal” is equal to the external pressure, boiling occurs.
Your experiment: We will do two distillations: A simple distillation and a fractional distillation. Work in teams of two: One student sets up the simple distillation and the other student sets up the fractional distillation glassware.

Simple Distillation Set-up Thermometer position collect the 1st two drops here, in a receiving vial. Label! * Add boiling chip Figure 1
Fractional Distillation Set-up Micro-column & steel sponge Do not “stuff” the column too tightly Be careful not to cut your hand with the steel sponge when packing the column. * Figure 2

Gas Chromatography • A separation method for volatile compounds • A chromatography method:Stationary phase and moving phase • Separation is based on • physical & chemical properties of each compound • different interaction with the stationary phase • A true microscale method!
Each peak (in a good separation) represents one compound. Retention time Injection point
Each peak (in a good separation) represents one compound. The area under each peak corresponds to moles of the compound
