EXPERIMENT #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

The Purity and Purification of Solids Melting Point Lab Introduction: The point of this lab was to determine the eutectic point for the naphthalene biphenyl mixture‚ as well as determining the melting point of an unknown substance by comparing it with two known samples. Melting point is a temperature in which a substance changes from solid state to liquid state. Melting points are used to determine whether the given substance is pure or not. Substances that melt sharply‚ less than 1-2°C indicates

The Purity and Purification of Solids- Part 2- Recrystallization Courtney Percival CH 337 Laboratory‚ Section 037 Department of Chemistry Portland State University‚ Portland OR ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Recrystallization is a commonly used tool in laboratories when dealing with impure solids. "An effective recrystallization is one in which 1) a high degree of purity is achieved as well as 2) a maximum recovery of sample".1 Solubility‚ the tendency of a substance to dissolve in a liquid‚ is an

The Purity 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

purifying solids 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 Purity and Purification of Solids Recrystallization ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ impure adipic acid is purified though recrystallization. The impure adipic acid is dissolved in a solvent. After cooling it is ran through a vacuum filter to separate any moisture. The dry crystals are then weight for percent yield and the melting point range is taken to test the purity. There were two different trials ran in this experiment. The difference between the two was the addition of charcoal in

(p-acetamidophenol)‚ an amide. Acetaminophen will be created by treating an amine (p-aminophenol) with an acetic anhydride. 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

Purification of solids Aim: To separate a mixture of carboxylic acid and a neutral substance by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide and purifying the carboxylic acid‚ measuring the melting points of the neutral and the acid components. METHOD: A mixture of( 5g) Carboxylic acid and neutral compound were separated by adding 2 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide (25cm3) to the mixture‚ which separated the water soluble sodium from the water insoluble neutral component‚ by filtration. The solid at the
