RECRYSTALLIZATION AND MELTING POINT DETERMINATION OF BENZOIC ACID ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1. How does the use of fluted filter paper hasten filtration? Why is it advisable to place a small piece of wire between the funnel and the mouth of the flask during hot filtration? Fluted filter paper is effective in preventing crystal formation in the filter paper. It is also often used in filtering hot saturated solution used during crystallization. One major advantage of a fluted filter is that it increases

effects for some people‚ yet it is safe enough to be sold without a prescription. Because it is easy to prepare‚ aspirin is one of the most inexpensive drugs available. It is produced in vast amounts. In fact‚ industry makes 43‚000‚000 pounds of the drug every year. This microscale experiment will permit you to make an amount of aspirin equivalent to about 1/2 of that found in an aspirin tablet. Purpose: To synthesize acetylsalicylic acid on a microscale basis. Equipment / Materials: |salicylic

ABSTRACT Determining the melting point of a solid organic compound is the easiest way to identify the compound and determine its purity at the same time. For actual samples of compounds‚ the melting will occur over a range of temperatures making the melting points into a melting “range”. The difference between the temperature at which the sample begins to melt and the temperature at which it finishes melting‚ or the magnitude of the melting range‚ is a very important criteria of determining the

specific amount of salicylic acid into the same amount of aspirin that was high in purity. Furthermore‚ the other objectives were to enable students to conduct the synthesis of aspirin‚ reinforce skills or recrystallisation and the technique of melting point determination. The amount of each compound should be the same because there is a 1:1 ratio between them. The purity of the synthesized aspirin was measured by determining its melting point and percent yield. Soluble impurities increase the range

and 3: Synthesis of Aspirin and Determination of Melting Point A. Abstract Aspirin is the common name for the compound acetylsalicylic acid‚ widely used as a fever reducer and as a pain killer. The first part of the experiment aims to synthesize aspirin from the reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride with the aid of phosphoric acid as a catalyst. The second part of the experiment aims to assess the purity of aspirin through the determination of its melting point and comparing it to

#1: THE PURITY AND PURIFICATION OF SOLIDS MELTING POINTS ABSTRACT Melting points of different mixtures of naphthalene and biphenyl were examined in this lab. Samples of these various mixtures were collected and tested by different individuals in the lab in order to find the eutectic point of biphenyl. Unknown substances were then tested using the mixture melting point method in order to determine their identities. INTRODUCTION The melting point of a solid is the temperature where the

VI: Conclusion: The melting point of a compound is the temperature at which the solid is in equilibrium with its liquid. A solid compound changes to a liquid when the molecules acquire enough energy to overcome intermolecular forces holding them together in an crystalline lattice structure. The melting point range is defined as the span of temperature from the point at which the crystals first begin to liquefy to the point at which the entire sample is liquid. This data can be tabulated experimentally

and Purification of Solids Melting Points CH-337 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to find the eutectic point for the mixture of naphthalene and biphenyl. This was done by measuring the melting point of both pure substances and five mixtures of different ratios. The purpose of the second section was to identify an unknown sample by measuring its melting point and mixing it with two known substances and comparing them. The results suggest that the eutectic point is closest to the weight

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
