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.
