Distillation Set-up

7

	This picture is only different from the last in that a flask has been placed under the vacuum adaptor. This is the "receiving flask". A beaker or vial or graduated cylinder could also be used. In a vacuum distillation, a round bottom flask is used as the receiving flask, and it is securely attached with either a clamp or a yellow clip. The next items to be added are the thermometer adaptor and thermometer. The thermometer is always added last because it is large and susceptible to breakeage.
