, - For what process is this equipment used?
6. Method used to obtain kerosene from crude oil
- Answer: Fractional distillation
7. Draw the equipment used in fractional distillation in the lab
- For what process is this equipment used?
8. Explain how fractional distillation separates a mixture of different liquids
- Answer: Different liquids have varying boiling points.
9. Method used to extract red dye from rose petals
- Answer: Dissolving
,10. Describe how pure salt can be obtained from rock salt
- Steps:
1. Grind rock salt into a fine powder.
2. Add the powder to hot water and stir to dissolve the salt.
3. Filter the mixture; salt solution passes through leaving sand behind.
4. Boil the filtrate to evaporate some water.
5. Allow the saturated solution to cool for salt crystals to form.
6. Filter the cold mixture to separate crystals from the remaining solution.
