In all experiments. but most particularly in distillation, it is important to use apparatus of a size. Commensurate with the quantities of chemicals involved.
Choose a distillation flask, which will be approximately half filled by the quantity of liquid you have to distil. Record the quantity of liquid added.
Ensure that the thermometer bulb is opposite or just below the level of the side arm otherwise an accurate reading of distillation temperature will not be obtained.
In all simple distillations you must add to the liquid some material to ensure even boiling: most of these materials operate by Soppying a surfacc on which bubble nuclei can be formed so that large.
