Liquid and Solid
Name:Shin Park|Date:06/14/2013|
Exp 5: Liquids and Solids|Lab Section: |

Data Table:
Boiling Point Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3
Temperature when the last bubble has emerged ___83_˚C __82__˚C __82__˚C
Average temperature from all three trials ___82.33_˚C
% error ___.0849_%

Melting Point Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3
Temperature when the acetamide melts __82__˚C _81___˚C __82__˚C
Average temperature from all three trials ___81.66_˚C
% error ___.815_%

Conclusion:
The purpose for this experiment is to analyze the melting and boiling point of specific types of liquid and solid. It is useful to know their melting and boiling point of a substance to state whether or not such substance is pure or if it is combination of different chemcials.
I was able to learn how to determine the melting point and boiling point of a substance by analyzing its temperature whenever acetamide turned into a liquid and when Isopropyl started to emerge bubbles. Since acetamide and lsopropyl had the similar melting; boiling points, it is to my understanding that the melting point and boiling point depends on the properties of the substance, not the state of its matter.

During the experiement, safety with tools and chemicals were crucial. The glass of capillary tube was very fragile, which was difficult during the process of breaking down the acetamide. cautious appoarch was made whenever dealing with burner-fuel. Acetamide was very small and was hard to tell their location whenever I tried to break them down in to small pieces to put inside the capillary.

There were several errors which could have affected the experiment. The tap water I used to heat the liquid and solid may had different properties inside, which can cause the boiling point to be off. Pure H2O is recommeneded to conduct more precise measurement. The capillary tube I used was too fragile whenever it was used to break down the acetamide.

    Coincidently, the temperature of the melting point of the acetamide and the temperature of the boiling point of the Isopropyl alcohol was similar, even though melting point and boiling point were totally different physical properties each other. When I kept water boiling up to 105˚C with the acetamide, it maintained a liquid state, not turning into gas. Through this, I also could deduce the boiling point of acetamide might be much higher than the Isopropyl alcohol, and water.…

    Melting Point

    • 2 Pages

    Melting point is an example of a physical property. This is lieu of the fact that we are observing a sample without changing the composition of the matter. As there are 3 states (solid, liquid and gas), the same matter remains intact in all three states. We use melting point measuring in organic chemistry as this is a method to identify a pure solid compound and compare it to the melting points listed in various sources of published data. Understanding of concepts in general chemistry leads us to be able to put it into practice in organic chemistry.…

    Ips 3.2 & 3.4

    For both these experiments, I found out that the freezing and boiling points of a substance are characteristic properties. The freezing point was proved in experiment 3.2 and the boiling point was proved in experiment 3.4. I know that the freezing point of a substance is a characteristic property because substances that are the same with different masses or amounts, have the same boiling point. For example, people with a pink or orange test tube had the same substance, but with different amounts. They happened to come up with the range of freezing/melting point, 80 degrees Celsius. The people with a green or yellow test tube had the same substance, but also with different amounts. They all got around 53 degrees Celsius. This means that we can identify different substances from others by their freezing point, even if the mass is different. This is a characteristic property. I know that the boiling point is a characteristic because in the experiment, one group had 10 cm3 of substance A and got a boiling point of 80.5. Another group had 20 cm3 of substance A and got a boiling point of 80.6. It was about the same boiling…

    The melting point of a solid is the point at which a solid becomes a liquid with standard atmospheric pressure. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure. It is important to know these characteristics of a substance so that you can handle them in the correct manner. The boiling point and melting point can also be used to identify an unknown substance.…

    Finding the melting point of an organic substance is a practical and efficient way for scientists to identify an unknown substance or determine a known substance's level of purity. When organic substances are mixed together in varying degrees they take on a melting characteristic that is lower and broader than in its pure form. This property was manipulated in the lab to observe the various melting points of Naphthalene and Biphenyl when the percentage of composition was altered. A eutectic point of 45 °C at 52% Naphthalene was determined from the class data. An unknown crystalline substance was identified to be Benzophenone by mixing and finding its melting point with known substances.…

    Two Types of Solids

    • 7 Pages

    The purpose of this lab is to study some of the physical properties of two types of solids – ionic and molecular. The samples used are sodium chloride (ionic) and camphor (molecular). The physical properties studied are odour, hardness, melting point, solubility in water and solubility in 2-propanol. It is observed that some of the physical properties of sodium chloride are no odours, hard, a high melting point, soluble in water and insoluble in 2-propanol; some of the physical properties of camphor are a strong odour, soft, a low melting point, insoluble in water and soluble in 2-propanol. A few conclusions can be drawn from these observations. The particles in ionic solids are held tightly by the force of attraction between ions with opposite charge, because of this strong force of attraction of positive and negative, ionic solids tend to have no odours, a high melting point and they are hard. The particles in molecular solids are held by the van der Waals force of attraction, because of this relatively weak force of attraction, molecular solids have a strong odour, a low melting point and they are soft. Sodium chloride dissolving in only water (not in 2-propanol) and camphor dissolving in only 2-propanol (not in water) have proved that polar solids are soluble in polar liquids only, and non-polar solids are soluble in non-polar liquids only.…

    The melting point of a compound is used by organic chemists not only to identify the compound, but also to establish its purity. To determine the melting point two temperatures were noted. The first was the point at which the first drop of liquid formed among the crystals; the second was the point at which the whole mass of crystals turned to a clear liquid. And the melting point was recorded from this range of melting (Pavia, 2005).…
