Melting Point Analysis of Aspirin Purity by Yen Bum is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This experiment determined the purity of aspirin by measuring its melting point. Two trials were conducted where the melting point of aspirin samples were observed as they were heated in an oil bath. The melting points ranged from 137-140°C for the first trial and 138-140°C for the second. Both trials produced melting points close to the theoretical value of 135°C, indicating the samples were pure aspirin with less than 0.03% error. The precise melting points within a small range suggest the recrystallizati
