Question
1. Explain the importance of using a thermometer in the simple distillation setup.
2. Enumerate the characteristics of a substance for it to be separated from the heterogeneous
mixture by steam distillation.
3. How does steam facilitate the distillation of essential oils?
4. Discuss some applications of simple distillation and steam distillation. Explain why you can
use each method for the chosen application.
5. What is the most dominant intermolecular forces of attraction that exist between:
a. water and limonene, the major monoterpene component of lemon essential oil?
b. water and constituent ions of sodium chloride?
6. Based on your answers in number 5, which pair (water-limonene or water-sodium chloride)
exhibits a stronger attraction between their molecules/ions?
7. Describe what happens during the salting-out process in terms of the intermolecular forces
of attraction involved as mentioned in your previous answers.
