What This Document Is
This document is a second lab report, completed by a student named Mohammed Abdelrehem for CHEM 12100 (Ess Of Org Chem-Lab) at Hunter College CUNY on March 4, 2019. It details an experiment focused on distillation techniques – specifically simple and fractional distillation – used to separate hexane and toluene. The report outlines the purpose, procedures, data collected, and a brief discussion of the results.
Why This Document Matters
This lab report is intended for the instructor of CHEM 12100 to assess a student’s understanding of distillation principles and their ability to perform and document laboratory work. It serves as a record of the experiment, demonstrating the student’s practical skills and analytical thinking. Other students in the course might review this report as an example of expected work.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This is a single student’s interpretation and execution of the lab. It represents one set of results and one analysis, and should not be used as a substitute for independent learning or a comprehensive understanding of distillation. It does not provide detailed theoretical background or troubleshooting advice.
What This Document Provides
The full document includes: a stated purpose for the experiment, a list of chemicals and equipment used, a summary of the experimental procedure for both simple and fractional distillation, raw data presented in table form showing temperature versus amount collected, and a discussion section offering the student’s observations and conclusions. This preview does *not* include the full data tables or a detailed analysis of the results; it only provides a high-level overview of the report’s structure and content.
