About this document
Distillation of Vodka: Ethanol Analysis by Nic Macapinlac is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes an experiment on simple and fractional distillation. Students distilled 30mL of vodka using a fractional distillation setup. They recorded the temperature and volume of distillate collected up to 100°C. The first distillate was flammable, indicating the presence of ethanol. The last distillate was non-flammable, containing water. Calculations found the ethanol content was 21.67% and loss was 33.33%, likely from excessive heating.
