3. Before Melting Point Determination
The group collected the crystals and transferred
into the capillary tube. Capillary tube was sealed
at one end. The group prepared a Melting point
set-up. It is composed of the oil bath,
thermometer, iron stand, tripod, and Bunsen
burner.
4. Melting Point Determination
The capillary tube was filled with 2mm of
sublimate. Using a thread, the tube was attached
to the thermometer. The tube and the mercury
bulb of the thermometer were aligned together
and was submerged in an oil bath.
