The Boiling Point Experiment
Hypothesis:
I think that in this experiment the results of the boiling point of each sample is going be slighly different from what I found on Internet. aim: my aim is to look at what temperature and how long the following alcohol (methanol, I-butanol, Ethanol and Hexane) reach their boiling point and comparing the results that I found on internet and mine.
Materials:

Alcohol: Ethanol, I-Butanol, Ethanol and Hexane
Four Test tubes (boiling tube)
Test tubes holder
Data logger
Hot plates
Bunsen burner
Beaker 500 ml
Measuring cylinder

Independent Variable: The alcohol
Controlled variable: Keep the same
Dependent Variable: The temperature

Method:
1) Prepare and clean the materials before beginning the experiment. Take four Boil tube and the data logger.

2) Take the First Test tube for the first sample, put 20 ml of Butanol on the measuring cylinder and after on the test tube to be more precise and prepare the data logger and his thermometer to mesure the temperature for the boiling point. Take the test tube with the test tubes holder for safety and Put on the Bunsen burner and wait until it start to boil and take off the tube.

3) Clean the area for safety and take the second test tube for Ethanol, put 20 ml and prepare the data logger to mesure the temperature for the boiling point. Hit it with the bunsen burner and take off the tube when it start to boil.

4) Clean again and prepare the third tube for the third sample which is hexane, put 20 ml of hexane and put the thermometer of the data logger in the test tube to mesure the temperature of the boiling point, hit it until it boils and take it off.

5) Prepare the fourth sample on the last test tube, put 20 ml of methanol, make sure to wash the test tube before hitting it. Prepare the data logger and put the thermometer inside the test tube and hit it with the bunsen burner until it reach his boiling point and take it off.

6) Repeat trials but in a different way of boiling the alcohol. Put approximatly

    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 on. You will note observations through the eye piece. Make note of two observations: temperature when the sample starts to sweat and when the sample is completely melted. This will constitute the melt temperature range for your sample. Turn the dial to number 6 on the first run so as to run the temperature gauge to 150 degrees in five minutes. On the second run, the dial can be adjusted to 4 when you are 30-40 degrees away from previous temperature taken. You may also want to verify the temperature melting point chart to properly correlate the dial that needs to be used for a sample. Once you are done, turn off the apparatus, remove capillary tube and remove thermometer. Make sure to not place the thermometer horizontally to avoid breaking it; place it in the proper holder under the hood.…

    Procedure: Safety goggles, gloves, and lab apron were put on. (Only the ones who were doing the experiment) 50mL of water was placed in the 100mL beaker and heated until boiled. And the boiled water will be used as the water bath. The lab marker was used to make 3 marks (1 cm apart). 1.0 M copper (II) nitrate was added to the first mark on the test tube. 1.0 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was added up to the second mark on the test tube. The solutions were mixed with the stirring rod. The test tube was put into the water bath. The burner was turned off and the test tube was cooled. 1.0 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) was added to the third mark on the test tube and was mixed. The 12 cm piece of aluminum was placed in the test tube. The wire was removed from the test tube. Lab station and equipment were cleaned.…
