Look Up the Expected Melting Point for the Product

The melting point mirrors this 741 C - 849 C as it is broader than expected 815-850 C 1. If the compound is not a fine powder crush it with a spatula.

Pack the powder into the closed end of the tube by tapping the closed end against the.

. Part A Approximate Melting Point of Unknown Compound Place 2-3 mg of your unknown on a clean dry watch glass. 4 The melting point of a pure compound is known to be 110-111. The melting point of pure caffeine 227 - 228 C.

If the melting temperature is unknown first perform a rapid melt with a ramp of up to 68ºFminute 20ºC. The furnace is heated until the temperature is about 10 C below the expected melting point and is rising at a rate of about 1Cmin. When a satisfactory melting point range has been determined choose a known substance that has a melting point within 5C of the observed value.

For our purposes a range greater than 2 C is considered to be wi de. Methods of Measuring Melting Point. Normal ΒΙΙΙΟ XX1 EEE fx cap BUT 7 9pts Post-lab Questions 3pts 4.

The melting point of the major component will be depressed and the observed melting range will begin lower than 130 ºC. When the temperature is about 20C below the melting point the rate of heating must be reduced to about 2C per minute and continued at this rate until the compound has melted. A sample should be used only once for melting point determination as some substances chemically decompose on heating.

3 Mix a small sample of your unknown with a similar size small sample of three of. 1 Determine the melting point range of the unknown. Do not heat the sample too fast.

Grind them together using a mortar and. Caffeine melting point expected 235 - 236C. Instructions for use are printed on the front of the DigiMelt.

Vivarin contains 5881 by mass of caffeine and rest of the material are base materials. For example if an unknown solid melts at 102 106 C the 4 C range suggests that the sample is impure. This is evident from the IR-spectrum of the sample O-H stretch at 3551 cm -1 which is a bond not present in the product.

There are a variety of methods that you can use to determine the melting point of a sample. Pharmacopeial Convention USP Physical Test chapter Melting Range or Temperature describes the following procedure when investigating Class Ia substances. The melting point is a physical property of a solid and can be used to help identify a substance.

If your product is pure it will be very narrow and if impure very wide and lower than the expected melting point of the pure material. If benzoic were contaminated with an impurity the melting point range might decrease and broaden to 117-120 C. An impurity consisting of 5 total mass will lower the melting point from that of the pure compound and it will increase the melting point range.

The most common and most basic method of determination is the capillary method. 2 Compare the melting point range you determined with literature melting points of. Also upon extraction of caffeine the percentage isolation 9225.

In practice a solid usually melts over a range of temperatures rather than at one specific temperature. This method involves placing the sample in a capillary tube and running an experiment that will heat the sample until it reaches melting point. The specific change in melting point resulting from an impurity is a factor of both the structure and amount of impurity contaminating the sample.

The phase change for most pure substances occurs over a very narrow temperature range 01C. Describe the melting behavior expected if this compound is contaminated with 5 of an impurity. Generally 338 to 356ºFminute 1 to 2ºC is recommended.

About ten degrees before the temperature approaches the expected melting point reduce the rate of heating to one degree per minute. Make a homogeneous mixture of equal amounts of the unknown and the known substances. If you do not know the expected melting point of your compound a ramp rate of 10C per minute should give you a rough first guess.

When two different pure chemicals with exactly the same melting point are mixed the resulting melting point is depressed. The possible ID compounds and determine the melting point ranges of. A How would you expect the melting point of the product of the acidic reaction to behave as compared to the starting 4-methoxyacetophenone ie.

Thus it means the caffeine is not 100 pure. You need to grind your sample carefully so the heat penetrates evenly and then watch for the beginning and ending of the transition from solid to liquid. Correct citation to a literature source for the melting point.

However some samples and samples that are contaminated will have broad melting ranges. You can then cool back down to about 20C below your. The melting point is the temperature range from where the first drop of liquid appears to where the last crystal dissolves into the liquidThe following points of technique should be considered.

If the unknown is one of four possible compounds which melt at 102 104 106 and 108C it is most likely that which melts at 108 C. Record the temperature at which the solid in the capillary tube melts. Melting point is a range.

Normal BIU X X- EEE F C IT EN TX 2pts Based on the video on the course page describe what you should see during recrystallization. 2pts Look up the expected melting point for the recovered acetanilide. The temperature at which a solid melts is known as the melting point MP of that substance.

Explain why you are using a hot solvent. Load a melting point capillary by pushing the open end of the tube into the powder. For example pure benzoic acid has a melting point range of 121-123 C.
