This gives a difference of 1.10-0.54=0.56 g and a percentage of (0.54/1.10)*100=49.09% The true melting point of pure benzoic acid is 122.41°C and I received 126.9°C as my melting point. This gives a difference of 126.9°C-122.41°C=4.49°C and a percentage of (122.41/126.9)*100=96.46% Results: Impure benzoic acid 1.10g True melting point of benzoic acid 122.41°C Pure benzoic acid 0.54g Acquired melting point of benzoic acid 126.9°C Discussion: Each part of this lab was very…

The freezing point of the cyclohexanol was about 17.7°C, and the freezing point for the unknown solute mixed into the cyclohexanol was about 6.2°C. So the approximate change in temperature of the two freezing points was about 11.5°C. With this calculated information, the found molar mass of the unknown solute B was about 278.4g/mol, which is close to given molar mass of octadecanol. Conclusion- This lab allowed us to determine the molar mass of the unknown solute B by finding the difference in…

transforms at a point of degrees. This degree would be 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. It must be at this degree or lower to transform into ice. If it is higher than the freezing point of water, then it will be a form of water or ice melting into water. The different molecules, or also called the things that make up the ice or water, are more dense in cold water. They become dense and come to each other which makes them tight into an ice cube. When the ice gets warm, it moves the…

Why does the temperature of ice help melt it? Well, the freezing point of water is 32F, making it easier to find the temperature to put a heating device at. In places where black ice forms a lot, they could put big heaters near streets, at 70F, for melting…

The next thing that was found was the percent yield which is equal to the actual yield over the theoretical yield times 100. Since the theoretical yield was 0.00056M, the result was a 34% yield. The melting point was found to be 262.7 oC, which lies within the correct range theoretically. The results of the TLC plate testing also concluded that the product was pure. The spot from the product appeared half way up the card while the anthracene was at the…

The Freezing point of water is 32° fahrenheit, But does anything affect the freezing point of water? The effect of salt and sugar lowering water’s freezing point is called Freezing Point Depression(FPD). When water freezes, its molecules slow down and “stick” together, and eventually slow down so much they stay in place and become a solid. However when salt or sugar is added, it “interferes with the formation of the crystalline bonds between water molecules that give ice its solidity”, Written…

Did you know, if you add salt or ice to anything cold the temperature drops? In my experiment, I wanted to find out if different materials impact the rate of ice melting. Before starting this experiment, I know sugar and salt dissolve in water and sand turns into mud. I predict that the results of this experiment will be that the sugar and salt will make the ice melt at a faster rate than the sand because sugar and salt dissolve in water and sand does not. To complete this experiment I will…

The melting point is the temperature at which a solid precipitate changes into its liquid form upon heating. It also helps when determine which isomers predominate. The experimental melting point of the E-stilbene was 242 degrees Celsius. The actual melting point of the E-stilbene was 241 degrees Celsius. This verifies that the predominating isomer is meso indicating that the cyclic intermediate remained. Therefore, almost no error occurred within the reaction since the two melting points are…

During this lab, I compared the properties of both regular and light margarine, before and after melting. First, we took both of the margarine samples and put them in a hot water bath to melt them. This separated out the components within them- making it easy to measure their percentage value. I found the regular margarine to be made up of 14.5% solids, 64.2% oils, and 21.3% water. Next, I used the same method as before, and found the percentage of each component of the light margarine to…

The initial observation was the officials sprinkle salt only on roads that are icy . The question was what effect does salt have on the ice? Hypothesis was formulated, salt water will melt ice cube faster than the pure water because salt lowers the freezing point of ice in salt water. The prediction was ice cube melts faster in salt water than pure water. The following was the procedure of this experiment was: fill out 100mL water into each 250mL empty beaker, add 0.5grams of salt to one of the…
