Introduction
Capillary tube
- A capillary tube is a type of
metering device that is
primarily used in refrigeration
equipment and HVAC systems,
designed to maintain the
temperature of the system.

Beaker
- a wide glass with a lip for
pouring that is used especially in
chemistry for holding and
measuring liquids.

Thermometer
- A thermometer is an instrument that
measures temperature. It can
measure the temperature of a solid
such as food, a liquid such as water,
or a gas such as air.

Wire Gauze
- Wire gauze is a sheet of thin metal that
has net-like patterns or a wire mesh
with a ceramic centre. The gauze is
placed on the tripod stand between the
Bunsen burner and the glassware to
support the beakers, flasks, or other
glassware during heating.
Can handle up to 800 Deg C.

Watch glass
- A watch glass is a round piece of glass
used in laboratories as a surface to
evaporate liquids, to weighed solids ,
for heating substances or powders and
as a cover for a beakers to prevent dust
or any other particles
entering the beaker.

Bensene-burner
- A Bunsen burner is a type of gas burner
commonly used as a heat source in
laboratory experiments. The burner
consists of a flat base with a straight tube extending vertically, known
as the barrel or chimney.

Spatulas
- Laboratory spatulas are implements with
flattened ends used to mix, spread
and lift chemicals.

- a pressurized container used to store
liquefied petroleum gas.

Stand and Clamp
- stands is used in combination for
holding and securing other items of
apparatus such as glassware,
tubing, thermometers,

Rubber band
- To attach the capillary tube to the
thermometer in the melting point.
Procedure
2- then we filled the capillary tube with the substance to fill the tube,we
three tapped the glass watch to fill the tube and then we inverted it and
tapped the top of the tube to cause the solid to fall to the closed end.
7- then we noted the temperature (t1) when the substance started melting
And we noted the temperature (t2) when the substance was
completely melted.
8- The average of the two readings gives the correct melting point
of the substance.
Calculation and results
Discussion
The purpose of this lab was to learn how to accurately determine melting
points and to use this technique to then determine the melting points of
two unknowns. The melting point is a physical property of a solid which
can be used to help identify a substance. Usually, a solid will not melt at a
specific temperature but instead will melt over a range. When using a
melting point range, a narrow range suggests that the compound is
relatively pure, whereas a larger range suggests a relative impurity. For
this lab, a range of 2 degrees celsius was considered narrow and pure, with
any greater range resulting in a retest with a new sample. ,As a result of
this experiment that we did, we have decided that the sample was
(Phenacetin) with melting point of (133-135)

Conclusion
www.vedantu.cum
some question about melting point .
5- Why is this method not used for finding the melting points of
inorganic compounds ?
Answer / This is due to the type of bonds present within each type of
molecule. Organic crystals contain weak covalent bonds that can melt
at lower temperatures. In contrast, inorganic molecules have strong
ionic bonds and require higher temperatures to melt.
