Outline the steps of the following procedure:
You will work with a partner for this experiment.
Weigh out 15 g of whole cloves and crush them in a mortar and pestle. [Note:
You do not have to crush the cloves to a fine powder.] Place the cloves in a 250 mL
round bottom flask and add 30-40 mL of water to completely cover them. Set up the
apparatus as shown in the diagram on Figure Page, Expt. 7. Clamp the steam trap in
place. Do not attempt to spread apart the bent glass tubing pieces, or they will break.
Refer also to the sample apparatus found in the yellow fume hood. You do not need to monitor the temperature, so the thermometer can be replaced with a ground glass stopper. Use a drop or two of glycerin on the bleed tube at each end, even if it appears to move easily without it. The bleed tube need only be inserted an inch or two into the rubber tubing. For now, pull the bleed tube up so that the bottom of it is just above the surface of the liquid. Place a thermowell under the round bottom flask on a ring clamp.
