Science - Distillation

This period of science we were using a bunsen burner and other equpiments to find out how much sugar were in each type of coke drinks (Orignal Coke, Coke Zero and Coke No Sugar.)

Our Aim was: To separate a solute from a solvent in a solution using distillation.

Equipment: A solution of saltwater, conical flask, heatproof mat, a delivery tube and bung.

Method:
1. Set up the equipment as shown in the diagram
2. Add approximately 50 ml of saltwater to your conical flask
3. Light your Bunsen burner. open the air hole and gently push the Bunsen burner under the tripod
4. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated. Turn off your Bunsen burner


Last week we try to find out how many sugar was actually in different types of cokes
Our Observations 

  1. Coke started shooting/bubbling up by the heat
  2. Coke went into the other test tubes (Pictures Below)
  3. Coke turns jet black
