What equipment is used for distillation?
Either:
Semi-micro distillation apparatus
Quickfit apparatus (pear-shaped / round-bottomed flask, liebig condenser, collection vessel, thermometer)

Why are anti-bumping granules used in distillation?
To allow smooth boiling - preventing bubbles caused by vapour creating upwards splashing in the flask
How do you isolate a liquid product?
Use a separating funnel to isolate the organic layer from the liquid layer. Shake the flask and allow the layers to separate. Open the tap and run off one layer into a separate container
Why is the condenser filled from the bottom?
To ensure that the entire condenser fills up, making it cooler and meaning more vapour condenses
