Identifying an Unknown Solid Using Melting Point and Mixed Melting Point Data Shultz, Joshua T. Chemistry 2210L Results The experimenters inserted a capillary tube containing approximately 2 to 3 mm of benzoic acid into a manual Mel-Temp melting point apparatus. With the Mel-Temp dial set between 3 and 4, the temperature increased at a steady rate of approximately 2° C per minute from a plateau set at 90° C. The first appearance of liquid occurred at 119° C, and the benzoic acid completely

purification to occur. The solubility and melting point of the substances are accounted for certain substances to be dissolved in certain solvents. The melting point is a certain temperature at which a given substance, in this case a solid, is melted. The melting point of benzoic acid and naphthalene in this experiment are needed to understand at which temperature the substances are purified. The melting points were denoted in ranges that explained at which points the substance began to melt, and were

identified by specific physical properties such as its melting point. A compounds melting point varies depending on how pure the compound is, a higher melting point indicates a more pure compound. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the melting point of given crystalline substances as well as the identity of an unknown substance based on its melting point. The DigiMelt melting point apparatus is used in this experiment to determine melting points of different crystalline substances by allowing

of solids using melting points.

Organic chemists use melting points to identify compounds and determine its purity. Two temperatures that need to be noted are the point at which the first drop of liquid appears from the substance and the point at which the entire mass of the solid substance turns to liquid. The range between these two points is the melting point. The melting point is used to determine the purity of a substance because if the substance is pure then its melting point will be higher. Also, if the substance is pure

is done by observing the melting point. This is important because if there is an impure substance the melting point would be depression and the melting range would be broader. By finding the melting point of a known substance one can then observe an unknown substance’s melting point to see if the points are the same and try to figure out the unknown. Experimental Section: The first known substance we used was Biphenyl. 68 degrees Celsius is the known melting point. We used the capillary method

Measuring the Melting Points of Compounds and Mixtures Introduction This exercise dealt with the melting points of pure mandelic acid and benzoic acid. The eutectic temperature and composition of mandelic and benzoic acid mixtures were determined. And finally, an unknown was identified by its mixtures and melting point. The melting point of a compound is used by organic chemists not only to identify the compound, but also to establish its purity. To determine the melting point two temperatures

Homeostatic Mechanism using the Comparitive Melting-Point Method for two Crab Species. Abstract Two crab species, Plagusia and Cyclograpsus, were collected from a local estuary in the littoral and deep water zone for osmoregulation studies. To examine differences in osmoregulatory mechanisms among the species, haemolymph of the specimens was extracted once they were acclimated to varying concentrations of seawater. Using the comparative melting-point, capillary tubes were filled with small samples

Recrystallization and Melting Point of Benzoic Acid Organic Chemistry 1 10/4/12 Abstract Recrystallization was done to remove impurities from the sample. The percent recovery of benzoic acid during recrystallization is 23.02%. The difference between the pure and impure samples was observed by comparison of melting points. It was found that impure sample had a lower and wider melting point range of 120.1-122.2 (C). The pure sample melting point range was 121.3-122.5 (C). These ranges helped determine

This lab looks at the solubility, miscibility and melting point characteristics of different organic compounds in various situations. All three of these processes are essentially controlled by the intermolecular forces and polarity an organic compound consists of. Molecules benzophenone and methanol were put into different solvents to check for miscibility and solubility. Melting point ranges of pure and impure forms of cinnamic acid and urea were recorded by a Mel-Temp® machine. The first two parts
