Plot a graph that has the volume of distillate of the x-axis and distillation temperature on the y-axis.

a) What is the temperature range at which your distillation took place?

b) Based on your curve, how many components are present in your unknown mixture?

c) What is the boiling range for each component?

d) Based on your data, what compounds are present in your unknown? (Can be methyl acetate-ethyl acetate-propyl acetate or methyl acetate-ethyl acetate or ethyl acetate-propyl acetate or methyl acetate-propyl acetate)

2. Compare and contrast the observed differences between the simple distillation and the fractional distillation
