Solution
- Precautions during distillation:
- Ensure the proper setup of the apparatus, with all components securely fitted.
- Never heat a completely sealed system to prevent explosions.
- Use boiling chips to prevent bumping (rapid boiling causing liquid expulsion).
- Control the heating rate to avoid overheating and bumping.
- Precautions during separation using a separating funnel:
- Secure the funnel tightly on a stand in an upright position.
- Allow the liquid to remain undisturbed for proper separation.
- Remove the stopper carefully without disturbing the setup.
