Discussion
The boiling point od a liquid is the temperature
at which it’s vapour pressure equals the
atmospheric pressure exerted on it. As pure
organic compounds have definite boiling points,
their determination provides valuable information
for the identification of organic compounds.
Boiling points can also indicate the state of purity
of compounds.
In this experiment, we use a micro-method of
determining the b.p. of a compound.
Procedure
Fill a 100 cm3 beaker with 60 cm3 of water (or glycerol) and
place it over a wire gauze supported by a tripod stand. Next, tie a
micro* test tube to a thermometer with a rubber band (see Figure
2). Introduce five or six drops of aceton (b.p. = 56.2 ˚C) into the
test tube. Clamp the thermometer so that the bulb of the
thermometer and part of the micro test tube are immersed in the
water (or glycerol). Place a sealed capillary tube in the micro test-
tube as shown in the diagram.
Heat the beaker and stir constantly. When a steady stream of
bubbles comes out of the capillary tube, remove the flame.
Continue stirring until the aceton begins to enter the capillary
tube. Note the temperature. This is the b.p. of aceton.
Repeat the procedure with chloroform (trichloromethane)
(b.p. = 61 ˚C) and isopropyl alcohol (propan-2-ol) (b.p. = 83 ˚C).
