It lists some already but given the atomic numbers of any material this project includes a conversion and calculation chart to find the freezing point of most any material. GOOD LUCK! Abstract: In this lab we determined the freezing point‚ and Kf‚ of pure 2‚4‚dichloralbenzne as well as a 2‚4‚dichloralbenzne/biphenyl solution. We used this information to determine the molar mass of an unknown (#24) by the 3rd step in the experiment which was a 2‚4‚dichloralbenzne/unknown
