Experimental Approach - Melting and Boiling Point

The document describes two flowcharts for determining the melting point and boiling point of samples using capillary tubes. The melting point flowchart involves sealing a capillary tube containing a solid sample, heating it to observe when the sample melts. The boiling point flowchart uses a sealed capillary tube submerged in glycerol in a Thiele tube apparatus. The sample-filled tube is heated until bubbles appear, then reheated to observe the temperature at which the liquid leaves the tube.
