Physical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility, are largely determined by intermolecular attractive forces. Organic molecules are organized into classes based on molecular size, composition, and the pattern of bonds between atoms. It allows the distinguishing of various samples in compounds. The structure of a molecule determines physical properties and reactivity. Melting point is a transition between a solid to a liquid and shows a point of equilibrium between the two states. Forces and bonds play a role in the melting point, such as london forces, dipole-dipole forces, hydrogen bonding, ionic bonds and intermolecular forces. London forces has a lower melting point, but a large melting point compared to other forces. …show more content…
Open end of the melting point capillary was placed into the powder, until it reached a height of 2-3mm. The approximate melting point temperature was found by placing the capillary in a heating bath (15C-20C). The Pure Urea appeared white and clumpy.The initial temperature was 120C and the melting point was reached at 133C. The Cinnamic Acid melted at 132C and had a shiny white appearance. Particles were much smaller than the Urea. During the Proportional Mixing, different mixtures in proportions of 1:4,50:50 and 4:1 were grinded and had their boiling points recorded. The proportion 1:4 was shiny and small particles, and had a 116C melting point. The 50:50 ratio was not as shiny as the previous one and had smaller clumps compared to Urea. 4:1 had more clumps and had a mild shininess. All the particles were white. When I performed the experiment the second time, I noticed the change in temperature. I took the temperature, when I conducted it the second time. The initial temperatures were way too high. Moreover the last experiment (Unknowns), place the two unknowns C and D into capillaries and determined their boiling point. Unknown C melted at 137C, while D melted at 95C. This experiment determined the melting point of pure urea and cinnamic acid, and a mixture of Urea and Cinnamic Acid. Cinnamic Acid showed signs of melting at the temperature of 128C. Then it became completely
If the temperature in the apparatus increases too quickly, it’s difficult to record to exact temperature at which the first drop of liquid falls and then again when the mixture is completely liquid. This would result in the wrong melting point range being recorded. Additionally, experiment three heavily relied on the results from experiment two. Failing to extract all the aspirin from the organic solution in experiment two would result in more impurities in the unknown component. Thus, lowering and broadening the melting point

4. The melting points of the solids were tested by placing them in crucibles and heating them using a hot plate.
Other substances that dissolve in water also lower the freezing point of the solution. The amount by which the freezing point is lowered depends only on the number of molecules dissolved, not on their chemical nature. This is an example of a colligative property. In this project, you'll investigate different substances to see how they affect the rate at which ice cubes melt. You'll test substances that dissolve in water (i.e., soluble substances), like salt and sugar, as well as substances that don't dissolve in water (i.e., insoluble substances), like sand and pepper. Which substances will speed up the melting of the ice?
While we refluxed the solution there was no color change, the solution stayed clear. After gravity filtration the solution stayed clear. After roto vap, solution was a milky brown color.
Substances A and B have an appearance of a white solid like. Substances A and B were put into a test tube and on the Bunsen burner. As a result, B melted faster than A. A was slow to melt. The reason why B melted faster than A is because it has a lower boiling point than substance A which made it melt faster. It also shows that A needs more energy than B to be broken down.
Melting points are indicative of identifying an unknown product and the level of impurity the product contains. In this case, the possible identity of the product based on its melting points are determined by comparing the obtained melting points of the product to the melting points of the five possible products. Two mini capillaries, containing the product only, were used to determine the product’s melting point. For one mini capillary, the temperature range was 132.1-134.2℃, and the product’s melting point for the second minicapillary ranged from 135.1-137.5℃. In addition, melting points were obtained with the product mixed with meso-hydrobenzoin. The temperature range was 135.0-136.0℃ and 135.0-137.5℃. Although the recorded melting point values fall into the racemic range, but the results still indicate that the product is a meso-hydrobenzoin. The melting point values for the product mixed with the meso-hydrobenzoin standard explains that it is unlikely that the product is racemic. The melting point values were two degrees from each other due to the meso-hydrobenzoin standard making
In the middle of the experiment, the two solutions created an odor. During the second half of the trials, the temperature began dropping back to its original temperature, 24oC.
Procedure: This lab starts off by making sure the logger pro and temperature probe are in proper condition. Then, the data collection must be adjusted to 15 minutes and 12 samples/ min. After that a Bunsen burner must be set up by assembling a ring-stand, ring, and wire gauze, and a crack-less beaker is used to boil some water. First the beaker and the large watch glass need to be weighed and the mass has to be recorded using a triple beam balance. Next, the beaker with 200g of ice is placed on the ring stand, and immediately heated over medium flame. An important note is to make sure the flame is perfectly adjusted so the ice does not melt on the counter while trying to adjust the flame. Furthermore, place the temperature probe in the ice so it is not resting at the bottom of the beaker, it is best to secure it with a small clamp. Additionally, click the green start button on the computer and stir continuously with a glass rod until the ice is completely melted. Once the ice has melted which is somewhere between 3-5 minutes, the stirring rate will slow
The beaker was slowly heated on a hot plate with low stirring until most of the stilbene was dissolved. 0.4 g of pyridinium tribromide was measured and added to the beaker after 5 minutes of heating. Small amounts of ethanol were used to clean the sides of the beaker. The beaker was heated for an additional 10 minutes on low temperature. An ice bath was prepared. The beaker was removed from the hot plate and left to cool to room temperature. Once at room temperature, the beaker was placed in the ice bath for 15 minutes. The solid product was collected through vacuum filtration and the product was weighed and a melting point was taken. Waste was disposed of in the correct waste bins and lab bench was cleaned
Chemical and physical properties of substances are due to the structure and arrangement of atoms, ions or molecules and how these interact with each other
Colligative properties, such as boiling point and freezing point, are dependent on the amount of solutes added, not necessarily their identities (LibreTexts, 2018). A fascinating concept related to freezing points is Supercooling. Supercooling is a state where liquids do not form ice even when they reach temperatures below their normal freezing point; they are trapped in a metastable state (Esrf.eu, 2018). The best example of this is clouds at high altitudes: they contain tiny droplets of water that do not have seed crystals, and therefore do not form ice despite the low temperatures (Esrf.eu, 2018). The concept of freezing point depression is applicable in many parts of everyday life.
In determining the melting point range of the aspirin, a capillary tube (sealed at one end) was one-third-filled with the dried aspirin. The capillary tube and a thermometer were immersed in an oil bath. The temperature at which the solid started to melt and the temperature when the entire sample was completely liquefied were recorded as the melting point temperature range.
The objectives of this lab are, as follows; to understand what occurs at the molecular level when a substance melts; to understand the primary purpose of melting point data; to demonstrate the technique for obtaining the melting point of an organic substance; and to explain the effect of impurities on the melting point of a substance. Through the experimentation of three substances, tetracosane, 1-tetradecanol and a mixture of the two, observations can be made in reference to melting point concerning polarity, molecular weight and purity of the substance. When comparing the two substances, it is evident that heavy molecule weight of tetracosane allowed
The volume is definite if the temperature and pressure are constant. When a solid is heated above its melting point, it becomes liquid, given that the pressure is higher than the triple point of the substance. Intermolecular (or interatomic or interionic) forces are still important, but the molecules have enough energy to move relative to each other and the structure is mobile. This means that the shape of a liquid is not definite but is determined by its container. The volume is usually greater than that of the corresponding solid, the most well known exception being water, H2O. The highest temperature at which a given liquid can exist is its critical temperature.[5]
