You will use a graduated cylinder as the receiving vessel. Place a 25 mL
graduated cylinder in a beaker of ice and position it such that the lip of the cylinder is as
close as possible to the end of the vacuum adapter. Use wooden blocks, which are
available in the support room, to raise the graduated cylinder, if necessary. If the tip of
the adapter is too far above the graduated cylinder, drops of the distillate will partially
evaporate as they fall (due to the airflow in the fume hood).
