A sample is put in the bottom of a melting point tube.

Put a small amount of the compound in the open end of the melting point tube.
Turn over and tape the closed end on the desk top until the compound falls to the bottom.

Heat about 5o per minute until within about 10o of the melting point
Near the melting point heat at 1 - 2o per minute

Why is salt put on snow covered roads?

Ice melts at 0oC
What happens to the melting point if salt is added?
Ice melts!
![Page 12: Melting Points and Mixed Melting Points Experiment 1: Identify a compound by its melting point and mixed melting points. Acetamide p-Aminobenzoic acid](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfbb1a28abf838ca0f0c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Impurities such as salt lowers the melting point of water.
Putting salt on icy roads causes the ice to melt because it lowers the melting point of water.
Impure compounds usually melt lower than pure compounds so the melting point may be used as a measure of the purity of a compound

Acetic Acid, CH3COOH, is a colorless liquid that melts at 16.6oC.
Let’s look at the melting point of mixtures of water and acetic acid.

Cool a acetic acid - water solution with a mole fraction water of 0.9
![Page 16: Melting Points and Mixed Melting Points Experiment 1: Identify a compound by its melting point and mixed melting points. Acetamide p-Aminobenzoic acid](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfbb1a28abf838ca0f0c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Heat a acetic acid - water solution with a mole fraction water of 0.2
![Page 18: Melting Points and Mixed Melting Points Experiment 1: Identify a compound by its melting point and mixed melting points. Acetamide p-Aminobenzoic acid](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfbb1a28abf838ca0f0c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pure compounds usually melt over a narrow temperature range, often 1o or less.
Impure compounds melt lower than pure compounds and over a wider temperature range.

m.p. = 115o - 119o m.p. = 118o - 120o m.p. = 121o - 122o
Melting points are a measure of purity
![Page 20: Melting Points and Mixed Melting Points Experiment 1: Identify a compound by its melting point and mixed melting points. Acetamide p-Aminobenzoic acid](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfbb1a28abf838ca0f0c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
m.p. = 120o - 122o m.p. = 120o - 122o m.p. = 120o - 122o
Two of these bottles contain benzoic acid and one m-nitrophenylacetic acid.
How do you tell what is in each bottle?

Mixed Melting Points
Grind samples together to be sure they are mixed and then measure the melting point.
![Page 22: Melting Points and Mixed Melting Points Experiment 1: Identify a compound by its melting point and mixed melting points. Acetamide p-Aminobenzoic acid](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfbb1a28abf838ca0f0c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
m.p. = 114o - 117o
m.p. = 120o - 122o

1. Measure the melting point of your unknown
2. Run mixed melting points to confirm identification
