Experiment 2: "Determination of Boiling and Melting Points of Chemical Compounds" I. Observations and Results

1. The student performed experiments to determine the boiling point of acetone and the melting point of benzoic acid. 2. For acetone, the observed boiling point was 57°C and corrected boiling point was 56.2°C, matching the reference boiling point of 56.1°C. 3. For benzoic acid, the observed melting point range was 118-125°C, consistent with the reference melting point of 122°C.

Experiment 2
"Determination of boiling and melting points of chemical
compounds"

I. Observations and results:

Part A
1. Thermometer Calibration:
Barometric pressure 640 tors
Correct boiling point of water 97.3 C
Thermometer reading in ice-water bath 1C
Thermometer reading in boiling water bath 98 C
Thermometer error:
At 0C 1
At 100C 0.7
Plot the calibration graph of the thermometer using your experimental
results

2. Unknown determination:
Code number of unknown B
Observed boiling point 57 C
Corrected boiling point 56.2 C
Reference boiling point 56.1 C
The unknown liquid is Acetone

Part B
Observed melting point (rang) (118-125)C
Reference melting point 122C
The recrystallized unknown substance is Benzoic Acid

II. Answer the following questions:


1. Define:
Boiling point of compound: The temperature at which the pressure of
the vapor of the substance becomes equal to the prevailing external
pressure on the surface.
Melting point of compound: The temperature at which the substance
(crystals) change it's physical state from solid to liquid.
2. How will the following affect the boiling and melting points of a
substance?
a. A change in the barometric pressure
Barometric pressure α boiling point, that's mean if barometric
pressure increase the boiling point will increase and the opposite is
correct.
b. The presence of impurities in the substance
The impurities in the substance will change the actual boiling or
milting point for the substance for example if little of salt in water the
milting point will be under zero siliceous degree so that in Europe they
spray salt on ice-water to open the roads

3. How can you confirm that the identified unknown basing on boiling
and melting points is actually that substance it is believed to be?
When we do the steps of the experiment we have reading if this
reading as or nearly of the reference point in the table of boiling and
melting points that's mean we have the same substance.
