Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to determine the identity of an unknown substance by calculating; I.) II.) The density, The boiling point. Observations First Trial  The streams of bubbles initially made me confused because there were more bubbles in the water bath, and after I cooled down the set up the entire unknown liquid had evaporated, which meant that I had passed the boiling point a long time ago but did not notice, this happened when the setup was heated up to 100oC. Second Trial  The unknown liquid is transparent and volatile.  Rapid streams of bubbles appear at 74.0oC when heating  During cool down the streams reduce, and the unknown liquid is sucked into the capillary tube that is placed in the test tube of the unknown liquid at 65oC. Third Trial  Rapid streams appear at 67oC, and the unknown rose into the capillary tube at 65oC. Fourth Trial  This time during cool down the sudden rise of the liquid took place at 65oC Results: Calculations Calculations used were: Density, p=m/v Table 1 of 4 tables: 1) 10.92g/15.00mL = 0.728g/mL 2) 20.03g/30.00mL = 0.667g/mL 3) 31.22g/45.00mL = 0.694g/mL Table 2 of 4 tables: 1) 9g/10mL= 0.900g/mL 2) 15g/20mL= 0.750g/mL 3) 22g/30mL= 0.733g/mL Table 3 of 4 tables: 1) 7g/13mL= 0.538g/mL 2) 19g/26Ml= 0.731g/mL 3) 25g/39mL= 0.641g/mL Analysis Questions: 1) a) Graduated cylinder :(0.728 + 0.667+ 0.694)/3 =0.696g/mL b) Volumetric pipette : ( 0.900 + 0.750 + 0.733)/3 = 0.794g/mL c) Burette : (0.538 + 0.731 + 0.641)/3 = 0.636g/mL 2) Average boiling temperature : (65.0oC + 65.0oC + 65.5oC)/3 = 65.2oC Analysis 1.
