    Study Notes

    Melting Point Determination

    • Conducted primarily for solid materials under normal conditions.
    • Melting point is the temperature at which solid and liquid forms exist in equilibrium.

    Physical Properties and Changes

    • Physical properties do not involve changes in chemical composition.
    • Common examples include density, color, and electrical conductivity.
    • Physical change examples: dissolution and dilution.

    Factors Affecting Melting Point

    • Molecular composition: Tightly packed molecules yield higher melting points; example: symmetrical neopentane vs. isopentane.
    • Molecular size: Smaller molecules tend to melt at lower temperatures compared to larger ones; ethanol at -114.1°C vs. ethyl cellulose at 151°C.
    • Forces of attraction: High melting points correlate with strong intermolecular forces; ionic compounds generally show high melting points due to strong ion-ion interactions.
    • Hydrogen bonding in organic compounds raises melting points; polar substances often have higher melting points than nonpolar counterparts with similar sizes.

    Melting Point Range

    • Defined as the range from the onset to complete melting of a compound.
    • Valuable physical constant for characterizing organic compounds.

    Importance of Melting Point

    • A higher melting point indicates stronger intermolecular forces, important for storage & transport.
    • Not every chemical requires a melting point test, particularly those known to have high stability.

    Impurities and Melting Point

    • Impure solids exhibit lower and broader melting point ranges, a phenomenon known as melting point depression.
    • Pure solids have a narrow melting point range (1-2°C), indicating uniform molecular composition.
    • Impure samples show a wide melting range due to structural defects hindering secure intermolecular interactions.
    • Example of purity: pure organic crystals have uniform molecules, while mixtures of different organic molecules disrupt packing.
