Organic chemistry 201 | Mixed Melting Points | Determination of an Unknown Solid | | [Type the author name] | 9/15/2011 | Purpose : The main purpose of this experiment was to identify an unknown compound/substance by performing multiple experimental melting point tests. Pure and impure solids were tested to see what affect pureness/impureness had on a melting point. Background: The melting point of a solid can be used to determine the purity of the solid. Pure samples usually have

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

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 control controls

Mixture Melting Points Abstraction Determining the melting point is very significant in order to identify an unknown. In this experiment‚ measuring the melting point was done by using melting point apparatus. The melting point of the unknown sample #10 was 111.5˚C. There were two possible compounds which were dibenzoyl ethylene and o-Toluic acid because their melting points were 111.2˚C and 109.8˚C when each compound was mixed with the unknown. Therefore‚ the unknown #10 was dibenzoyl ethylene

Experiment 2&3 Recrystallization and Melting Points Determinantion of Benzoic Acid Abstract In experiment 2‚ recrystallization was used to purify the crude benzoic acid extracted from a mixture during experiment 1. Then a percent recovery for this recrystallization process was calculated. In experiment 3‚ the melting point ranges of the crude and purified benzoic acid were both determined by using Melt Temp Apparatus. Introduction Recrystallization is a purification technique for non-volatile

Crystallization and Melting Points Organic Chemistry 221 9/19/2012 Intro/Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to use crystallization to separate a compound from a solvent and be able to choose the best solvent to do so. Then identify an unknown and verify purity using melting points. Solubility contributes to crystallization; because a solute has lower solubility at lower temperatures‚ which makes the solvent separate from the solution as a solid. This process is important to understand because

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
