simple/fractional distillation question
« on: September 23, 2010, 04:16:18 PM »
Estimate the volumes of methanol and water in the mixture. Calculate the percent composition of your mixture?

60mL of methanol and water mixture in simple and fractional distillation. Unknown volumes since I was just given a mixture of methanol and water, but I know that methanol boiled at 63C and water boiled at 97C according to experimental results, which tells me there is definitely some sort of components still left in the solution. I don't think Raoult's law would work since it's an azeotrope. Any ideas? Thanks.
