Organic Chemistry Lab/ Chem 234 02/17/13 Lab 2: Melting Points Purpose: To determine the purity of a substance using melting point as physical property. We must also learn how to identify an unknown compound using its melting point. We got to identify an unknown compound using mixture melting point and finally we must learn to obtain an accurate melting point using Mel-Temp apparatus. Procedure: Set voltage to obtain the desired heating rate at the anticipated melting point range. The voltage

Introduction The melting point is defined as the temperature at which the solid is in equilibrium with its liquid‚ and this characteristic is very unique‚ so a substance can be determined by the melting point. Determination of the melting point is very important technique in many areas of chemistry especially‚ in organic chemistry area because the melting point is really significant in order to identify the purity and the identity of a substance. Measuring the melting point is a fast and cost-effective

Melting Point Determination Lab Materials: Graduated pipette Capillary tube Tin wipe Sample Melting temperature apparatus Thermometer Procedure: Take open end of capillary tube and tap it gently into sample. Take tin wipe and place over the opening. Gently tab it so the sample will funnel to the bottom of the tube. You may also use a graduated pipette to accomplish this. Now‚ place the capillary tube in the designated spot in the melting apparatus‚ and once placed‚ turn the apparatus

The Purity and Purification of Solids Melting Point Lab Introduction: The point of this lab was to determine the eutectic point for the naphthalene biphenyl mixture‚ as well as determining the melting point of an unknown substance by comparing it with two known samples. Melting point is a temperature in which a substance changes from solid state to liquid state. Melting points are used to determine whether the given substance is pure or not. Substances that melt sharply‚ less than 1-2°C indicates

Purifying Acetanilide by Recrystallization Results: Acetanillide Solubility of acetanilide in water is 5.5g/100mL at 100C 0.53g/100mL at 0C PERCENT YIELD/THEORETICAL YIELD: Discussion: Acenatilide is a synthetic organic compound introduced in therapy in 1866 as a fever-reducing drug. Its effectiveness in relieving pain was discovered soon thereafter‚ and it was used as an alternative to aspirin. The solvent that I selected to recrystallize the

Lab #1: Melting Points of Organic Compounds Report Form May 15‚ 2014 1. A “Melting Point Range” refers to the range of temperature at which a solid melts into its liquid state. 2. Pure compounds have narrow or ‘sharp’ melting point ranges‚ 1°C or less if the compound is very pure. A less pure compound exhibits a broader melting point range‚ between 3°C to 10°C as well as a depressed or lower range. 3. Crushing the sample allows for greater surface area-to-volume ratio of the powder‚ this

claim). -The Salicylic acid that I obtained had a melting point range around 157-158 degrees Celsius for Part A. For Part B the melting point range was 156-157.5 degree Celsius. Part B‚ I would say the sample is less pure because of the notion that impurities lower the melting point. Since part A ‘s melting point was higher and closer to the melting point of the pure sample‚ it was more pure. The pure Salicylic acid that I got the melting point for had a range from 158-159 degrees Celsius. The impure
