Simple and Steam Distillation I. Simple Distillation

The document provides instructions for performing simple distillation and steam distillation. Simple distillation is used to purify carbon tetrachloride by heating it until 1-2 mL of distillate is collected at different temperatures. Steam distillation is used to purify p-dichlorobenzene. The setup is assembled and 100 mL of water is boiled to generate steam, while 2 g of the sample is dissolved in the pear flask. Distillation is carried out for 10-15 minutes to collect the purified p-dichlorobenzene, which is then dried and weighed to calculate the percentage recovery.
