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

Melting Point Determination Lab Materials: Graduated pipette Capillary tube Tin wipe Sample Melting temperature apparatus Thermometer Procedure: 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
Premium Melting point Liquid Temperature
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

The Tipping point: how little things can make a big difference by Malcom Gladwell is a novel that reveals how ideas‚ messages‚ products‚ and behaviors spread‚ which is explained through three rules heavily influence the Tipping Point and are required for one to consider a scenario as the Tipping Point. The Tipping Point is described as the moment of critical mass‚ the threshold or boiling point that results in change (Gladwell‚ 2000‚ p.12). To explain the Tipping Point Gladwell informs the reader
