| In the first semester of Organic Chemistry laboratory, the simple and fractional distillations of a mixture of cyclohexane and toluene are usually performed to introduce the students to the technique of distillation. Students often find this experiment very frustrating because acquiring accurate data for this experiment with the limiting experience they have is difficult. Here, a new experiment is proposed that expands on the experiences of the students, and it is not limited to distillation, but utilizes other laboratory techniques such as extraction, filtration, decanting, and evaporation to separate two solids, two immiscible liquids, two miscible liquids and a nonvolatile solid dissolved in a liquid. |
