    Introduction The purpose of the experiment was to determine the melting points of compounds using a Mel-Temp device. The melting point of naphthalene‚ urea‚ and sulfanilamide are found. This is then followed by the measuring of an unknown compound‚ and an impure sample (a small amount of naphthalene mixed with the unknown). Experiment In the lab‚ the height of the chemical in the capillary was set to 2-3 mm thickness. The voltage at the Mel-Temp started at a low setting of 1.5-2. The heat was

    spring and summer is the principal melting energy source. Most operational procedures for snow melt prediction rely on ambient air temperature as the index of the energy available for melt. The temperature index is usually used to characterize the level of the energy balance because it is superior to other simple methods for the full energy balance at the snow surface. As long as snow remains bright‚ the sunshine bounces off and is not retained to cause any melting. Two factors other than sunshine
