What happens during reflux, what happens during distillation? Explain why each step was taken, what should hopped at each stage. What steps did you do in your method and testing that were skillful? Expected results of boiling points from distillation and SjAcic>pp,f1method. How does each test of boiling point work? What are the literature values? How accurate can you be? Are boiling point and IR the best way to measure purity?
