Distilliation

 Today we will be doing an experiment which includes Evaporation and Condensation. For Evaporation, we will be turning a liquid into a gas with energy, heat. Making the particles separate and become spread out as the heat makes them stress and try to move as far away as possible. Condensation will be having a gas be trapped, captured and formed into a liquid, having particles merge closer together but not to close as it could become solid.

Aim: to separate a solution (coke/coke zero) to form a solid + a liquid

Hypothesis: When the Coke is heated and becomes a gas at first we will watch as it vanishes and becomes steam than when we cool it and watch as it becomes back to the liquid it was. Small dots of liquid form and later a wee pile of it, to then back to the amount it was. The reason this occurs is that after bringing down the heat, high temperature to a lower one by the second. Eventually reaching a cool enough temp that we will be able to allow us the ability to take ahold of the container.

Observation: I saw as the blue flame heated the coke and made it intensely bubble. After many minutes the flame made the coke go to a sludge, taking awhile and the gas which condensed up in the tube which was 10cm up to top left of the flask. The flask was where the coke was being held and the tube had a beaker with ice held below it to cool the gas which made its way into the tube by boiling tube.

Conclusion: In a way my hypothesis was right although I said it as if the coke which formed back would have the same concentration yet it didn't, it came out with water and a diluted coke residue. (Refer to Observation to see what happened) When the heat turned the coke to a gas it came up the boiling tube, for transportation and made its way to the cooled tubed. Turning the gasback to the liquid because the cold brang the particles closer to the form of liquid.
