Today we began a miniscale distillation experiment where students' goal was to analyze/separate a 4 component mixture (water, ethanol, red & blue food coloring). Rather than utilizing a large distillation flask/condenser glassware setup, a simpler setup using only Erlenmeyer flasks and bent glass tubing was used. This decreased the time needed for clean-up and still yielded adequate results for analysis of the distillation process.
