Conclusions: The experimental data showed that Unknown Z contained 38.5% cyclohexane and 61.5% toluene.
The data showed that fractional distillation was able to roughly separate the mixture.
In the experiment, a 50:50 mixture of cyclohexane and toluene will be distilled, separating the lower boiling component for the mixture.
The initial mixture, the distillate and the pot reside will be analyzed using the Thermo Scientific picoSpin 80 NMR spectrometer.
Expert Answer
.
1) For the distillation of cyclohexane and toluene , cyclohexane should distill first.
Reason; The boiling point of cyclohexane is 82°c while that of toluene is 111° c .
