Dear student,
Precautions to be used during distillation:
The apparatus should be set properly with all the components fit well.
Never heat the system that is totally closed from the outside atmosphere to prevent the explosion.
Add boiling chips to reduce bumping (rapid boiling causing the liquid to expel out of the container).
Control the rate of heating so as not to overheat to avoid bumping.
Precautions to be used while using separating funnel for separation:
The funnel should be tightly fixed to the stand in an erect position.
The liquid in the funnel should be left undisturbed to allow it to separate.
The stopper should be removed carefully without disturbing the setup
regards,
