Apparatus labelling: distillation template
Premium template. Preview and edit it free in MolDraw; downloading and exporting it is part of MolDraw Pro.
A simple distillation set-up from the glassware library with ten numbered blank label boxes for students to fill in, plus an answer key panel giving each part and its purpose.
What the template shows
- Label the apparatus: simple distillation
- Write the name of each numbered part in its box
- Why does the water enter the condenser at the lower end? Why must the thermometer bulb be level with the side arm?
- Answer key
- bulb level with the side arm reads the vapour temperature (boiling point)
- 2. Still head (distillation head)
- carries the vapour to the condenser
- 3. Round-bottom (distilling) flask
- half full, with anti-bumping granules
- 4. Heating mantle
- even heating, no naked flame
- 5. Water out
- leaves from the upper barb
- 6. Liebig condenser
- cold-water jacket condenses the vapour
- enters at the lower barb so the jacket stays full
- 8. Receiver adapter
- directs the distillate into the receiver
- 9. Receiving flask
- collects the distillate
- 10. Lab jack
- supports the receiver; lower it to remove the flask
- Thermometer bulb level with the side arm: it must sit in the vapour going to the condenser.
- Condenser water in at the bottom, out at the top, so the jacket fills completely.
Drawn with 35 shapes – every one editable in MolDraw.
