About this document

Recrystallization and Melting Point Analysis by Ryan Dave Sugano is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document describes an experiment on recrystallization and melting point determination of benzoic acid. Recrystallization was used to purify impure benzoic acid, using water as the solvent. The purified sample was analyzed to determine melting point range and percentage yield. The melting point range of the recrystallized benzoic acid was 119-124°C, indicating it was not completely pure since the range should be no more than 2°C. The percentage yield was 51.8%, also suggesting not all impure benzoic acid
