Innovating Science™ Fractional Distillation

Description

• Crude oil is a complex mixture of many useful hydrocarbons such as gasoline, kerosene, butane, and motor oil In order to be of use, these hydrocarbons must first be separated from each other This Fractional Distillation lab activity allows students to complete a fractional distillation experiment that simulates the fractionation of crude oil Topics such as boiling and condensation points, conservation of matter, and forces between molecules are covered as they factor into how a distillation is performed This kit contains enough material for 15 groups Teacher's Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included Kit Includes: Simulated Crude Oil (450 mL) 15 Rubber Stoppers 15 pieces Tubing 30 Disposable Cups
