The scatterplot above demonstrates the volume of distillate produce in milliliter versus temperature in Celsius. The squares represent the acetate, the triangle represent the mixture of acetate and toluene, and the diamonds represent the toluene. On the graph, roughly two plateaus can be seen at temperatures around 58 ℃ and 105 ℃. Acetate boiling point is 56.05 ℃ and toluene is 111 ℃. These two temperatures are approximately in the ranges of the boiling point acetone and toluene meaning that the fractional distillation was efficient because the distillate was pure for both compounds. If the distillation resulted at a different temperature other than the expected temperatures, it is safe to assume that they were not efficiently purified. The
