BOILING POINTS Introduction: The boiling point of a compound is the temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a gas. This is a physical property often used to identify substances or to check the purity of the compound. It is difficult‚ though‚ to find a boiling point. Usually‚ chemists can only obtain a boiling range of a 2 - 3oC accuracy. This is usually sufficient for most uses of the boiling point. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the boiling points of various

ABSTRACT Determining the melting point of a solid organic compound is the easiest way to identify the compound and determine its purity at the same time. For actual samples of compounds‚ the melting will occur over a range of temperatures making the melting points into a melting “range”. The difference between the temperature at which the sample begins to melt and the temperature at which it finishes melting‚ or the magnitude of the melting range‚ is a very important criteria of determining the

molecular formula is CH3CONHC6H4OH and its molecular weight is 151.2 g/mol. The melting point of pure compound is in the range of 169-172 ℃. During lab Paracetamol medication was dissolved in water‚ purified and recrystallized again. The purpose of the experiment was to learn basic recrystallization techniques that include hot and cold filtration. During experimental procedure sample was purified and its final melting point was measured. Procedure 1.0 g of impure Paracetamol was added to the flask

RECRYSTALLIZATION OF ACETANILIDE ABSTRACT Recrystallization is the primary method for purifying solid organic compounds through the differences in solubility at different temperatures. In this experiment‚ a suitable solvent was first determined. Acetanilide was produced by acetylation of aniline with acetic anhydride. The crude acetanilide was dissolved in a solvent in a heating water bath. The hot solution was filtered and the filtrate‚ cooled slowly in an ice bath as crystals started forming

Recrystallization and Melting Point Determination W. H. Bunnelle‚ L. A. Meyer‚ R. E. Glaser (Version 3) Introduction Consider what happens when a solid material is placed in a solvent in which it has a low solubility. Not much! A small fraction of the solid will dissolve‚ but the rest will just sit there. (Actually‚ it doesn’t just ’sit there’ since an equilibrium is in effect‚ with solid molecules going into solution‚ and an equivalent number of dissolved molecules reforming solid‚ but we

PREPARATION OF ASPIRIN AND DETERMINATION OF THE MELTING POINT Ferrer‚ Lara Melissa V. Faculty of Engineering University of Santo Tomas Manila‚ Philippines ABSTRACT This experiment involved three steps: synthesis of aspirin‚ isolation and purification‚ and the estimation of purity of the final product. The synthesis involved the reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst‚ phosphoric acid‚ H3PO4. When the aspirin was prepared‚ it was isolated and filtered. The percentage

This form of purification technique is especially important in chemical identification‚ where the melting point of the compound is taken to confirm its purity. In order to perform recrystallization a solubility test much be completed. Four solvents (95% Ethanol‚ Petroleum Ether‚ Acetone and distilled

The Purity and Purification of Solids- Part 2- Recrystallization Courtney Percival CH 337 Laboratory‚ Section 037 Department of Chemistry Portland State University‚ Portland OR ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Recrystallization is a commonly used tool in laboratories when dealing with impure solids. "An effective recrystallization is one in which 1) a high degree of purity is achieved as well as 2) a maximum recovery of sample".1 Solubility‚ the tendency of a substance to dissolve in a liquid‚ is an

Purpose The purpose of this lab is to find the boiling point of the liquid and find the melting point of the solid. Procedure Boiling point: To find the boiling point of Isopropyl Alcohol I put about 1 mL of it in the test tube. Then I attached the thermometer to the test tube with a rubber band(make sure the thermometer bulb is lined up with the end of the test tube). After that I made a water bath with a beaker and put in the test tube with the thermometer. I then used a burner and a burner stand
