The results obtained in this experiment correspond well with the expected outcomes. At 0oC, the product formed was white indicating that it must be cyclohexanone semicarbazone. This is further confirmed by the observed melting point of 166.5oC. These results deviate by only 0.5oC from the expected melting point of 166oC for this compound. This particular reaction is controlled kinetically and occurred because it had the smallest activation energy. Then after forming this compound, the reaction did not have enough energy to reverse and overcome that activation energy. After completion of the room temperature reaction, a white compound with a yellow tint was obtained. This indicates that the majority of the product was cyclohexanone semicarbazone,
