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

Introduction The melting point is defined as the temperature at which the solid is in equilibrium with its liquid‚ and this characteristic is very unique‚ so a substance can be determined by the melting point. Determination of the melting point is very important technique in many areas of chemistry especially‚ in organic chemistry area because the melting point is really significant in order to identify the purity and the identity of a substance. Measuring the melting point is a fast and cost-effective
