• separatory funnel
• thermowell heater
• 25ml round bottom flask
• boiling chips
• distillation kit
• 5ml hexanes X3

Procedure

• We poured the 100ml of orange-peel distillate into the separatory funnel
• Added 5ml of hexanes into the Erienmeyer flask to rinse the flask
• We took the 5ml in the flask and poured it into the separatory funnel
• We closed the funnel with a glass stopper
• We then mixed the solution and vented while mixing
• We then extracted the water from the mixed solution to isolate the orange-peel oil and then collected the oil in the 25ml round bottom flask
• We repeated the process two times
• We added three boiling chips into the 25ml round bottom flask
• We assembled the simple distillation kit  (see picture)
• We plugged in thermowell heater and distillation began
• Observed distillation until all the water was in the receiver and the orange oil in the boiler flask
• Distillation was terminated
• We then weighed the 25ml flask with the resting orange oil

• Distillation began at 62° Celsius
• Took approx. 45 min. for distillation process to terminate
• The 25mL round bottom flask with the boiling chips weighed 25.93g
• The 25 mL found bottom flask with the boiling chips and the distilled orange peel oil weighed 26.79g
• The orange peel oil now longer had a orange scent

• After the orange peel oil was completely distilled its weight was .86g(weight of the round bottom flask+3 boiling chips - weight of round bottom flask + 3 boiling chips + orange oil)
• 26.79g - 25.93g=.86g
• The weight of the distilled orange oil compared to the weight of full orange peel(71.1g) gave us the percentage of the orange peel oil compared to the orange peel
• .86g/71.1g=1.2%
