Gas Chromatography: Purifying alcohol Introduction The goal of this lab is to understand the principles of chromatography by purifying alcohol using fractional distillation. Running standards with gas chromatography we were able to see and calibrate our data to find not only how much ethanol our alcohol attained but also what a mixed unknown sample contained. Chromatography is a way of being able to separate substances in solution that can help not only identify the analytes (the studied

1. You don’t have to be a chem whiz * Chemical engineering requires a basic understanding of chemistry‚ physics‚ math. You’re not required to memorize formulas‚ it’s more important to understand the principles and learn how to apply them to solve a problem/improve status quo. However after a few semesters‚ your brain WILLremember many formulas! * You do need to be analytical and have the ability to think critically. You must be able to look at the problem from a bigger viewpoint but
