Recrystallization and Melting Point Determination Victoria Vazquez Timari Barnes Dr. Saleh 01/22/24 Reaction Scheme and Mechanism: The purpose of the experiment was to be able to purify and characterize two different compounds. One compound consisted of Benzoic acid and the other compound consisted of benzoic acid with the addition of methanol. The mechanism used for the experiment was a solvent system which was composed of a vacuum filtration system and Hirsch funnel. A melTemp was also used in order to compare the data collected for both parts of the experiment to the crude temperature range for the compounds being tested in the lab. Experimental Data: Part 1: Benzoic Acid 0.0646 g Filter paper 0.1759g Mass of filter paper and crystals 0.4517 Mass of Crystals 0.2758g Part 2: Benzoic Acid 0.0634 g Filter paper 0.1756g Mass of filter paper and crystals 0.4660 Mass of Crystals 0.2904 Drops of methanol 20.0 Melting Point Data Benzoic Acid 118 °-120 ° Methanol 115 °-120 °
Given Information: - Crude Range: 116 °-120 ° - % recovery = mass of pure benzoic acid/ crude benzoic acid x100 Calculations: A. % Recovery: Part 1A: 427% Part 2A: 458% 1A. 0.2758g/0.0646 g x100= 426.934 2A. 0.2904/0.0634 g x100=458.044
