Question 15
Question
Filter and [blank_start]recrystallise[blank_end] product. Measure [blank_start]melting point[blank_end] of purified product which is very [blank_start]high[blank_end]. Compare the melting point to a [blank_start]database[blank_end] or [blank_start]data table[blank_end] to identify the unknown product and therefore the [blank_start]original[blank_end] carbonyl compound.

high
-
database
-
data table
