Experiment 9 Melting point and boiling point

Melting point

Is the temperature at which the vapor pressures of the solid and the liquid phases of the dissolving compounds are equal.

Melting point starts typically less than 1 celcius

Boiling point

Is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere

The effects of greater intermolecular forces to the boiling point and melting point

the boiling point and melting point will be higher

Napthalene melting point range

trial 1 89 celcius

trial 2 90 celcius

methanol boiling point range

trial 1 65 celcius

trial 2 70 celcius

which would be expected to have a higher boiling pooint, tert butyl alcohol or butyl alcohol?

butanol because butanol has stronger structure and IMF than tert butyl
