the gc data may be used to verify the results of the distillation (was there actually any separation of the hexane/toluene mixture?). a) state your expectations (from distillation theory, not from your experimental data) of the relative amounts of hexane and toluene in each of the three collected fractions. b) for each fraction collected and analyzed by gc (ideally fractions 1 and 3), what do the experimental gc data (peak identities and peak areas) tell you about the progress of the distillation? be sure to comment on the relative peak areas of the two peaks observed for each fraction. c) are the gc data reported in part (b) consistent with your expectations as stated in part (a)? why or why not?
