TECH 704 – Separating Cyclohexane and Toluene by Distillation
Final Report Sheet
In this techniques experiment, you will compare the efficiency of two different
distillation apparatuses. Note that you will use a Hickman apparatus for simple
distillation (Figure 11, p.91) and a conventional apparatus for fractional distillation
(Figure 4, p. 83.)
