Infrared Spectroscopy and Boiling-Point Determination

Infrared spectroscopy Boiling-point determination Organic nomenclature Critical thinking application 

The ability to identify organic compounds is an important skill that is frequently used in the organic laboratory. Although there are several spectroscopic methods and many chemical and physical tests that can be used for identification, the goal of this experiment is to identify an unknown liquid using infrared spectroscopy and a boiling-point determination. Both methods are introduced in this experiment. 

Physical Constants of Liquids The Boiling Point and Density, Part A. Boiling Points and Thermometer Correction  

Many of the unknown liquids used for this experiment are flammable therefore, do not use any flames in the laboratory. Also, be careful when handling all of the liquids because many of them are potentially toxic. 

If you have not identified the unknown by the end of the laboratory period, you should return the unknown liquid to your instructor in the original container in which it was issued to you. If you have identified the compound, dispose of it in either the container for halogenated waste or the one for nonhalogenated waste, whichever is appropriate.
