11.3 Solvent data
The nomogram shows the relationship between pressure and boiling
temperature of a selection of solvents.
The difference between the temperature of the vapour and the cooling medium
should be 20 K to ensure adequate condensation.
The temperature difference between the heating bath and the vapour should
be at least 20 K to ensure an adequate distillation rate.
As a rule of thumb, doubling the temperature difference will double the
distillation rate.
