Phenol-Water Miscibility Study Results

The objective of the lab was to determine the miscibility of phenol and water at various concentrations and temperatures, identifying the temperature of complete miscibility. Results indicated that as the concentration of phenol increases, the temperature required for miscibility also increases, with partial miscibility observed at lower temperatures. The findings align with the expected behavior of partially miscible liquid systems.

Physical lab

Muhammad Mari

Objective :

1. To determine the (miscibility) of phenol and water at different compositions.


2. To observe how the temperature affects the phase separation between phenol and
water.
3. To identify the temperature at which phenol and water become completely miscible in
all proportions (C.S.T)

Calculation and graph:

1. Using reference book, find the density of phenol.

d= 1.07g/ml At temperature = 20 °C

Calculate the w/w\% of phenol in each sample.

3. Determine the C.S.T. from the curve.

4. Show example of your calculation.

Density of phenol = 1.07g/ml , density of water 1 f/ml

Sample 1

Mass of phenol = density*volume= 1.07*0.3 = 0.321g

Mass of water = 1*4.7=4.7g

Sum mass = 5.021

Conc of phenol w/w% = (0.321/5.021)*100=6.39%

Conclusion:

As the concentration of phenol increases, the miscibility temperature increases.

The system shows partial miscibility at lower temperatures and complete miscibility at higher
temperatures.

The obtained results are in agreement with the expected phase behavior of partially miscible
liquid systems, like phenol-water.
