1. Distillation flask: A round-bottom flask with a long neck that serves as the container for the liquid to be distilled.
2. Condenser: A device that cools and condenses the vapors produced during distillation, causing them to return to a liquid state.
3. Thermometer: A device used to measure and monitor the temperature of the distilling liquid.
4. Receiver flask: A flask or container that collects the distilled liquid.
5. Heat source: A heating device, such as a Bunsen burner or hot plate, that provides heat to the distillation flask.
6. Clamps and stands: These are used to securely hold and support the distillation flask, condenser, and other components of the setup.
7. Cooling water source: A source of cool water, such as a tap or recirculating water bath, is connected to the condenser to facilitate efficient cooling.
8. Boiling chips: Small pieces of porous material, such as ceramic or glass, added to the distillation flask to prevent bumping and ensure smooth boiling.
