the melting glaciers poses a direct threat to my home. Island nations and coastal cities will suffer the inevitable if we do not act now. In six degrees‚ Mark Lynas warned the impending arctic tipping point‚ once passed‚ the melting of the glaciers cannot be reversed‚ leading to a loss of habitable environment. However‚ I believe that the situation is worse than what Lynas anticipated. Despite some efforts from the international to curb the increasing carbon emissions‚ glaciers are melting faster

via the esterification of p-aminobenzoic acid with ethanol. The percent yield of crude product was determined to be 21% and the melting point was recorded at 86.2°C ± 0.2°C‚ with a 6.3% error from 92°C‚ the literature melting point of pure benzocaine. The crude product was then recrystallized to improve the purity of benzocaine and 57.4% was recovered. The new melting point range was measured at 89.1°C ± 0.3°C‚ which has a 3.15% error. The infrared spectrum of the recrystallized product was measured

The experimental melting point range of the desired alkene product‚ trans-9-(2-phenylethenyl) anthracene‚ was found to be 132-134 ˚C‚ in comparison to the literature value melting point range of 130-132˚C‚1 it was slightly higher than expected. Overall‚ the experimental melting point range varied from the initial melting point temperature and maximum melting point temperature by 2˚C. As the experimental melting point had a small range of temperature variance and was above that of the literature value

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
