A distillation done by Ohio State University chemical engineering students to demonstrate distillation to children. An acetone/water mixture is boiled over a stove (acetone is flammable!) and the vapor is applied to a Styrofoam cup, which is degraded by the acetone.

    It's not used to condense the vapor. The acetone degrades the cup, showing that acetone is indeed vaporizing and leaving the reboiler through the straw.
