Overview
Please follow the lab format and complete the following questions on the lab report.
YOUR ACETANILIDE RECOVERED IS: 2.945 GRAMS. MELTING POINT OF YOUR PRODUCT IS 234oC.
YOUR BENZIL RECOVERED IS 0.98 GRAMS. THE MELTING POINT OF YOUR BENZIL IS 201.9oC.
QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED IN THE REPORT:
1. GIVEN THE MELTING POINT OF YOUR ACETANILIDE PRODUCT, IS IT PURE OR IMPURE? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER BASED ON THE MELTING POINT.
2. GIVEN THE MELTING POINT OF YOUR BENZIL PRODUCT, IS IT PURE OR IMPURE? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER BASED ON THE MELTING POINT.
3. WHAT IS THE % YIELD OF ACETANILIDE? % YIELD OF BENZIL? SHOW YOUR CALCULATIONS.
4. IF I WERE TO MIX BENZIL AND ACETANILIDE TOGETHER, WOULD THERE BE A WAY TO DETERMINE THAT IT WAS A MIXTURE? EXPLAIN HOW TO DETERMINE THIS.
5. IF PRODUCTS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO DRY, WOULD THAT AFFECT THE MELTING POINT? IN WHAT WAY COULD YOU DETERMINE THE EFFECT?
