Comparing Cyclohexane And Toluene

229 Words1 Page

After comparing the class data that consists of the percent compositions of Cyclohexane and Toluene using the different types of distillation, I think the most efficient method is packed. The 4th fraction for packed contained an average of 6% Cyclohexane and 94% Toluene while the unpacked contained 4.35% Cyclohexane and 95.65% Toluene. The simple contained 3.35% and 96.63%. The packed is the most efficient, because the glass beads that provide more surface area for condensation. The data also shows that the unpacked is more efficient than simple distillation. This can also be because of the long tube in unpacked that provides more surface area for more than one condensation like the simple distillation does.
