Harvard University Melting Point Chemistry Lab Report

Questions

  1. i) Title and date; ii) Aim, this is usually very short (one or two sentences) and gives the reader an idea of the purpose of the lab; iii) Theory, relevant equations if any and the general theory behind the lab is presented here; iv) Materials, list all the reagents, amounts, and equipment necessary for the experiment;
  2. v) Method, here you must write exactly what you did/what was done. This must be in the past tense and in the third person so that someone who knows nothing about the lab can follow what you did and be able to repeat the experiment. Please do not itemize or number the method(s) employed. vi) Results, here you will do your calculations, report any observations etc. vii) Conclusion, this is also very brief and must tie-in with your aim. viii) Questions: Answer the questions that are indicated in your handouts this is the layout and the book we are using is Macroscale & Microscale Organic Experiments, Williamson, 7th Edition.

My unknown was 5.

So trial 1 (100/0) was 79-81.3 and 4 (20/80) 50-54 that I didn't write on the board

My unknown 5 melted between 52-53.6 which was maleic anhydride (52-54).

The table for the lab report needs to have a graph to reflect the data

So instead of putting 50- 53 the melting point was 50 to 54 I wrote that wrong.

I attached the reading material for the lab and my syllabus with how he wants it to look also the 3 questions.

In the graph it has to be accurate numbers like 0/100 , 20/80 , 50/50 , 80/20 , 100/0
