Melting and Boiling Points Objectives 1)To determine the melting point and boiling point of unknown compounds. 2)To identify a solid unknown measuring mixed melting points. 3)To properly use general instrumentation to illustrate the principal in the laboratory. Introduction The melting point of a compound is the temperature at which the solid phase is in Equilibrium with the liquid phase. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the liquid reaches a vapor pressure that is equal to the external pressure. Materials 1. Small sample of 2. Capillary tube 3. Spatula 4. Apparatus 5. Acetamide 6. Thermometer 7. Small test tube 8. Ring stand 9. Clamp 10. Wire gauze 11. Water 12. Pipet 13. Acetone 14. Hot plate 15. Ethyl alcohol 16. Normal size test tube 17. Two hole cork Methods 1. Obtain small sample of and push to the open end of a capillary tube. 2. When about ¼ inch of crystals has been filled insert into the melting point apparatus. The crystals will start to melt. 3. Fill another capillary with acetamide. 4. Determine and record the melting point. 5. Mix 1 of and 1 of acetamide and determine the melting point of this mixture. 6. Attach a small test tube to a thermometer. 7. Suspend the thermometer with a clamp attached to ring stand and place a 400 ml support ring clamp and wire gauze. 8. Pour enough water into the beaker. 9. Place 1 ml of acetone into the test tube with a pipet. 10. Instructor will approve the setup. 11. Turn on the hot plate and heat water slowly. 12. When you see stream of bubbles turn off the hot plate. 13. The streaming bubbles will slow down. 14. Record the temperature and enter the boiling point of acetone. 15. Remove acetone and replace with ethyl alcohol. 16. Determine the boiling point. 17. Mix 1 ml of acetone and 1 of ethyl alcohol in another test tube. 18. Determine the boiling point. 19. Obtain a normal size test tube and a two hole cork. 20. Set up a hot water bath. 21. Fill the test tube to ½ inch with the liquid. 22. Place the two hole cork into the test tube. 23. Insert the temperature probe. 24. Clamp the above set up to a ring stand. 25. Lower it into the hot water bath. 26. Start heating the water. 27. Observe the liquid inside the test tube. Determine the boiling point. Data and ResultsThe melting point of is 49⁰ C and acetamide is 67⁰C. The melting point of the solid mixture is 46⁰C.

Melting and Boiling Points
Objectives
1)To determine the melting point and boiling point of unknown compounds.
2)To identify a solid unknown by measuring mixed melting points.
3)To properly use general instrumentation to illustrate the principal in the laboratory.
Introduction
The melting point of a compound is the temperature at which the solid phase is in
Equilibrium with the liquid phase.
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the liquid reaches a vapor
pressure that is equal to the external pressure.
