distillation apparatus. Through this process, solubility tests: (1) water, (2) 5% NaOH, (3)
the identities of the components in the 5% NaHCO3, (4) 5% HCl, and (5)
solution can be determined through the concentrated (96%) H2SO4. Except in the
obtained boiling points. In this experiment, case of water, solubility experiments probe
distillation, separate components of the can obtain a relative measure of its acid
liquid mixture and compare the efficiency of strength by testing it against the weak base
