Determination of Melting Point CHEM AP Lab
Determination of Melting Point Abstract- This lab consists of comparing several substances melting point obtained through experimentation with the actual melting point of other known substances. With this method, the melting point of unknown substances can be determined. The data received shows melting points of three substances, two of which are identified, and the last is unknown. The first two, Benzoic Acid and Vanillin serve as confirmation of the method as they are similar to the data given of the known substances. The last is an experimental unknown substance to apply the method to determine the melting point. This experiment shows that the melting point of a substance can contribute to identifying an unknown substance.
