Separating Mixtures: Using distillation to concentrate ethanol

Welcome to the Separating Mixtures: using distillation to concentrate ethanol simulation.

In this lab, you will use the knowledge about states of matter and the phase changes to help the town mayor purifying the ethanol. Will you able to find the correct temperature to distill the ethanol? Here we have gathered all the relevant theory material to boost your learning:

• Matter
  • States of matter (solid, liquid, gas)
  • Classification of matter
• Phase changes
  • Phase diagram
  • Heating curve
• Distillation
• Physical and chemical changes
