A student was performing a separation of a mixture of organic compounds. The final step of the process involved a filtration of the analyte from an aqueous solution. After drying the filtered solid for a very short period time, they took the melting point of the compound. The measured melting point range of the compound was 106 – 113.8 0C, while the literature melting point of the compound was 122.3 0C. The above scenario is a very common one in organic labs.
1. Do you think their sample was pure?
2. If not, then what do you think could be the source of error.
3. How do you think this error can be minimized?
