Innovating Science™ AP Chemistry Freezing Point Depression to Determine Molecular Mass
Shop All Aldon ProductsDescription
- How the kit works:
- Molecular mass can help identify unknown compounds. In this experiment, it is determined by measuring freezing point depression, a colligative property that depends on the number of dissolved particles
- Para-dichlorobenzene is dissolved in the nonpolar solvent 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, which has a melting point of approximately 70°C, and the resulting temperature change is measured. The solvent's depression constant is then calculated, and the procedure is repeated with two unknown compounds to determine their molecular weights
- Kit Includes:
- 2 x 25 g Di-Tert-Butyl-4-Methylphenol Crystals
- 1 x 25 g p-Dichlorobenzene Crystals
- 1 x 25 g Stearic Acid Flakes
- 1 x 25 g Naphthalene Flakes
