Principle

A number of different mixtures of phenol and water are prepared and heated until complete miscibility is achieved. As the mixtures cool, two-phase systems form at certain temperatures which are recognisable by the appearance of turbidity. Plotting separation temperatures against compositions of the mixtures gives the separation curve.

Benefits

  • Good and reproducible results due to temperature control in the experiment.

Tasks

  1. Plot the separation curve of the phenol / water binary system and prepare a temperature / mass fraction diagram.
  2. Determine the critical separation point.
