Melting Point Determination and Thermometer Calibration Lab Background: The melting point of a substance‚ a solid in this case‚ signifies the temperature at which the first crystal starts to melt until the temperature at which the last crystal disappears is reached. That being said‚ melting points are expressed in ranges‚ am organic compound will have a sharp range depending on the purity of the compound. Impurity of an organic substance will register an abnormal melting point based on its

Lab #1: Melting Points of Organic Compounds Report Form May 15‚ 2014 1. A “Melting Point Range” refers to the range of temperature at which a solid melts into its liquid state. 2. Pure compounds have narrow or ‘sharp’ melting point ranges‚ 1°C or less if the compound is very pure. A less pure compound exhibits a broader melting point range‚ between 3°C to 10°C as well as a depressed or lower range. 3. Crushing the sample allows for greater surface area-to-volume ratio of the powder‚ this

Organic chemistry 201 | Mixed Melting Points | Determination of an Unknown Solid | | [Type the author name] | 9/15/2011 | Purpose : The main purpose of this experiment was to identify an unknown compound/substance by performing multiple experimental melting point tests. Pure and impure solids were tested to see what affect pureness/impureness had on a melting point. Background: The melting point of a solid can be used to determine the purity of the solid. Pure samples usually have

Crystallization and Melting Points Organic Chemistry 221 9/19/2012 Intro/Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to use crystallization to separate a compound from a solvent and be able to choose the best solvent to do so. Then identify an unknown and verify purity using melting points. Solubility contributes to crystallization; because a solute has lower solubility at lower temperatures‚ which makes the solvent separate from the solution as a solid. This process is important to understand because

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

Ong‚ Joshua Jyro B.* *Leader ABSTRACT In compounds‚ two of the physical properties affected by the varying structures are melting point and boiling point. Through the use of the Thomas-Hoover Melting Point Apparatus or the micro method‚ the melting and boiling point of organic compounds are now determined. The aim of this

Name Lab Partner(s) Abstract: The physical properties‚ including the boiling point‚ density‚ and refractive index were measured for unknown liquid #16. The infrared (IR) spectrum of the compound was also taken. Based on the data collected‚ it was determined that the compound was likely to be salicylaldehyde. Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to determine the identity of an unknown organic liquid by measuring some of its physical properties. The properties were then compared

Results My unknown sample was number 18. I did three melting point trials‚ which resulted in a melting point range of approximately 120°C to 122°C‚ as shown in Table 1. I also did two mixed melting point trials using Benzoic Acid and Succinimide‚ as shown in Table 2. Percent recovery is 28.26 grams.

Color impurities present in the solid acetaminophen will be removed and then the decolorized product will be collected on a Büchner funnel for further purification by crystallization. Purity will then be determined by melting point. Introduction: Acetaminophen is commonly used as an analgesic to reduce pain and fever. In this experiment it is prepared by the reaction of p-aminophenol with acetic anhydride‚ as illustrated below. Results: Isolation of crude acetaminophen The
