Boiling Point Lab Report
Title: - Infrared Spectroscopy, Boiling point and Melting point.
Introduction: - Infrared spectroscopy has also made a break though in medicine. It used to evaluate the kidney stone diseases thus broadening the use of IR in different ways. The purpose of this lab experiment is to identify the unknown solutions using the Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), boiling point, and melting point (1). The IR helps to determine the compounds such as a functional group. In order to analyze the compound, IR and melting point work the best together. According to Pub Med the FT-IR spectroscopy can be used to identify bacteria, to characterize neoplastic changes from biopsies, and to recognize the various forms of arthritis by analysis of synovial fluid (2).

Infrared Spectroscopy was used to analyze both a solid (841) and liquid (624) unknown compound. When an unknown liquid sample was placed in the spectroscopy a graph was shown with different peaks. The graph describes the unknown compound that was used during the experiment. In figure one there is an IR peak around 3000 cm-1which indicates that the compound used during the experiment is hexane (624).
In the boiling point portion a pipet was used to drop solution to place in the test tube and the thermometer was placed slightly above the test tube to record the temperature. A hot plate was used to heat the test tube, a reflux ring was made when bubbles were formed due to the heat. For the boiling point the unknown solution (624) started to boil at 67℃ consistently.
To determine the crystalline organic compounds melting point apparatus was used. A small amount of an unknown solution was put in to the capillary tube. As soon as the sample was placed in to the capillary tube the temperature was recorded till it becomes in to a liquid form. The unknown solution (841) started to melt at 117℃ and it completely melted at 124℃. During this process a temperature was recorded from the beginning to the end till the solution became in to a liquid
