Keep It Liquid
Introduction:
The objective of this lab was to witness the change in temperature of cyclohexane with different substances added. There are certain techniques for a solid, liquid, and a gas to have a certain phase change (Hall, 15). There are also different ways for there to be a phase change when it involves a solid, liquid, or a gas. The process of phase change is usually being witnessed in the different weather changes we have. When snow begins to fall in the winter it falls as a liquid, starts to freeze from the atmosphere, then fully freezes when it is set on the ground from the winter temperature. It then begins to melt and turn back into a liquid as the temperature begins to heat up, then evaporates as the liquid starts to boil and steam up. (Phase Change, 17). In this experiment, we hypothesized that our trial three with 0.612 grams of benzoic acid would have the greatest effect on temperature change since it held the greatest amount of mass.

In results, we see how much each trial had been effected with the different substances and different amounts added to cyclohexane.
In an experiment similar to ours, after their data has been obtained, the enthalpy curve is calculated to be calculated (Haun, 2017). In our experiment, the freezing point of cyclohexane is 6.55 °C (Solvents, 2017). With trial two and three, we calculated the molarity and molality. For trial two, we had the molarity of 0.637160081 M and had the molality of 8.188m, which is provided below.
In this equation shown above, our trial three our molarity ended up as 0.63716014 M and our molality ended up being 8.18627m.

The objective of the experiment “Keeping it Liquid” was to figure out what it takes to keep a compound in a liquid form which caused a phase change. A phase change is when a substance changes from one state or phase to another. There are three main phases that normally occur and they are called Evaporation, Deposition, and Melting. Evaporation is where a liquid changes to a gas. An example of evaporation is when water drops form on the glass of a cold drink on a warm day. Deposition is where a gas vapor goes directly into the solid phase without becoming a liquid first. An example of Deposition often occurs on windows during the winter months. While Melting is where a solid turns into a liquid. Melting occurs when ice turn into a liquid when
4- chlorobenzoic acid which was the aqueous layer has a theoretical melting point of 240-243°C, the organic layer, 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol has a theoretical melting point of 68-71°C. During our experiment we were unable to collect any data for the organic
The control experiment for this investigation will be the experimental setup of 5 trials using 5oC as the temperature. All the steps in the method will be followed.
The freezing point constant (Kf) of water is 1.86 °C m-1. Each mass amount and Van’t Hoff factor was calculated then analyzed in a table.
Purpose: The purpose of this laboratory was to gain an understanding of the differences between the freezing points of pure solvent to that of a solvent in a solution with a nonvolatile solute, and to compare the two.
In this experiment, we investigate the change in temperature caused by adding a chemical substance into the water and dissolving it. The results recorded in the table below show that our hypothesis is correct.
Before starting this practical ensure you have sufficient PPE including lab coat, safety goggles and latex gloves.
It is suspected that the freezing point is 64.1oC. Due to the short temperature plateau, It is difficult to determine if the freezing point occurs at during the interval (6:00-6:10). However, it appears to be have been the most reasonable determination for freezing point in comparison to the rest of the plot.
During this lab period, the safety procedures that should be followed are wearing your lab coat, safety glasses, gloves and use proper tools for dissection.
Introduction Molar mass is a fundamental quantity of chemistry. There are multiple ways to find the molar mass of a substance experimentally; one way is to use Freezing Point Depression by using the following equation: ΔT= kf*m (Robinson, 2018). The purpose of this lab was to do just that; measure the freezing point depression of a solution when a solute is added to a solvent, and from that, determine the molar mass of an unknown substance, along with learning about the influence that solutes have on liquid properties. A concept of importance to this experiment is freezing point. According to LibreTexts, “Freezing point depression is a colligative property observed in solutions that results from the introduction of solute molecules to a solvent…and
