Once, it is set up, measure a 20 mL of ethanol solution into a 10 mL graduated cylinder then pour it into the round bottom flask. Then, weigh a 10 mL graduated cylinder for use in determining the density later on in the procedure. Turn on the heating mantle and the water supplies. Watching the temperature of the thermometer While the liquid is heating, wait for about 10 to approximately 15 minutes for the water to move up the column; to make sure to distill the liquid slowly through the fractioning column by adjusting the heat. Temperature will go up around 78°C when the ethanol reaches up the column of the distillate. In addition, make sure to maintain the temperature range around 78°C to 82°C. There should be drops flowing into the receiving flask. Adjust the heat as the drops are going into the receiving flask, collect 2 mL of the
