Question
You have completed a synthesis and are now obtaining a melting point of the
synthesized compound.
The literature melting point is 126.2 °C - 128.4 °C.
You determine the melting point to be 121.5 °C - 126.8 °C with a run at 2 °C per
minute. You also determine that there is an erroneous signal in your IR spectrum.
Which statement most accurately describes what you have going on here?
O Your compound is not pure and is undergoing melting point depression.
You may have added too much sample.
None of these are correct.
You may have added not enough sample.
O There isn't an issue here, melting points are off all of the time.
