purpose of the melting point experiment is to determine the melting point of a solid. The melting point of a solid is the initial temperature when a solid starts changing to a liquid and the final temperature when it completely liquefies. The identification of melting point is used as an experimental technic to identify compounds. When a compound is pure the temperature range is sharp, rather than broad that occurs in impure compounds. In this experiment we determined the melting point by heating a
The next experiment is to purify impure fluorene, using the same techniques as the previous experiment. In order to crystallize fluorene, the ideal solvent have to be determined from toluene, water, and methyl alcohol. Solubility tests were able to confirm that methyl alcohol is the best solution for crystallizing fluorene, as stated in the results. Though methyl alcohol was the best solvent for this experiment, additional solvent was needed to dissolve the fluorene, because methanol has a high evaporating
Aim : In this experiment, aspirin is to be prepared via an esterification reaction and purified through recrystallization. The purity of the synthesised aspirin is determined through melting point determination. Introduction : One of the most widely used medicine is aspirin. It is best known for its pain relief for mild headaches, toothaches and muscle aches. It also acts as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug by providing relief to the swelling. Salicin, an active ingredient in salicylic acid
to purify an impure substance. The recrystallization experiment composed of two parts. The first part consisted of acquiring crude acetanilide, which is an impure substance, and purifying the solid compound through different method. The second part of the experiment required time for the purified acetanilide to recrystallize. The recovered acetanilide was then weighed and its melting point was taken. During the first part of the experiment, about 1.520 grams of crude acetanilide was weighed out
bonding, and the other is and organic solvent that display little to no polarity and Vander Waal forces at best. The discrepancy in polarity causes the separation of solvents, with the more dense solvent on the bottom of the container. In this experiment, this concept is implemented
largest electronegativity difference between the atoms in the bond and the highest boiling points. The attractive forces between polar molecules are dipole forces. These attractive forces of dipoles increase the boiling point. The stronger these forces are, the more the compound must be heated to overcome the attractions, therefore, the higher the melting and boiling points. As a compound is heated to its melting point, its lattice breaks and it dissolves. The purpose if

Introduction: Benzene contains compounds have special properties that make
Recrystallization is one of the most well-known and commonly used methods when trying to purify solids. Recrystallization is the process that involves dissolving the solids in an appropriate solvent at elevated/heated temperature and allowing the crystals to re-form once the solution is cooled. This process removes any impurities that may be in the solution. At first, the process of recrystallization may seem intimidating and difficult to understand at first, but in reality it is easier to understand
The changing attitude was aptly represented by the coinage, ‘Sapere Aude’, meaning ‘dare to know’. One such person was Mr. Benjamin Franklin, who asked questions and went about answering them too. These questions were asked by him and answered at a point when, even though there was a considerable growth in the area of science, the phenomenon of lightning was so deeply sheltered under the umbrella of myths that it was something almost impossible to question. Each religion and sect had their own explanations
is one of the most valuable metals. The average price of a kilogram of ruthenium is $13,548 ($420 per troy ounce). You have to pay $500 per kilogram of indium. Indium is also the tenth most valuable metal in the world. One of the metals for the experiment was zinc. Zinc oxide is a common zinc compound that forms when metallic zinc is exposed to air. Zinc also has many alloys. One of the many alloys zinc has is brass. Like zinc brass dose not rust. It slightly loses its color sometimes, but it can
