Over all the experiment shows that the separation of the gases through gas chromatography works. It will be a constant change of the temperature when Acetone that has the lowest boiling point is vaporizing. When acetone is completely vaporized then a increase in temperature is seen because 1-propanal has a higher boiling point. The increase is the increase to reach the boiling point of 1-propanal. When the boiling point of 1-propanal is reached then a constant change of temperature is seen. During this lab mistakes might have been done because for the third trial the ml of the solution was six ml and not ten ml. Post-Lab Question: 1- The vapor will have more acetone than the liquid because when the boiling point of acetone which is 56°C is reached then the acetone is vaporizing and getting separated from the mixture. 2- …show more content…

3- Component that will elute first out of the GC column is the component with the lower boiling point which is acetone. 4- I didn’t expect a complete separation of acetone and 1-propanol using simple distillation because of the 21% of acetone in the
