Question

Determination of Melting Point 1. Record the experimentally determined melting point of sublimed benzoic acid. Include the melting point of pure benzoic acid from the literature. Benzoic acid Melting point Sublimed benzoic acid Pure sample (from literature) A. Is the melting point of the sublimed benzoic acid similar to the pure sample? If not, what could be the reason for the discrepancy? 2. Melting point range is often used to assess purity of a compound. What is melting point range? How is it used in the assessment of purity?
