Sludge test
DAY 1
The first day there wasn’t much time to do anything, but I filtered the yellow stuff out of the mixture. I am pretty sure that it was sulfur. It didn’t have much of an odor, but the mixture itself smelled like rubbing alcohol, isopropanol.
DAY 2
On this day, I did fractional distillation of the liquid(s). The graph is on the attached sheet. From doing the distillation I noticed two plateaus. The first plateau was at 80 C, and the second was at 100 C. I wasn’t positive on this day what the two liquids were, but I was guessing one was water and the other possibly isopropanol. Later I looked at past labs and got the boiling points of these liquids....
