Results
The purpose of this experiment was to find the melting and freezing points of Cetyl alcohol and Palmitic acid. You can measure the substances freezing point by melting it and measuring the temperature when it turns to a solid. That is what I did with the Cetyl alcohol and the Palmitic acid. The temperature that the Cetyl alcohol melted at was 90 degrees Celsius and the Palmitic acid melted at the same temperature. The freezing point for Cetyl alcohol was 45 degrees. Palmitic acids freezing point was 52 degrees.
Conclusion
The experiment went very well. I cannot think of any way to improve this experiment. The experiment really shows that different substance have different melting and freezing points.
When the substance is a solid
When the substance is a liquid
