Yousif Jameel, a student at Hawler Medical University's College of Pharmacy, prepared this document on determining the melting point of organic compounds. The document discusses the equipment needed, safety precautions to follow, and factors that influence a substance's melting point such as molecular size, symmetry, and pressure. The purpose is to use melting point to determine purity, identify unknown compounds, and accurately obtain melting points using a Mel-Temp apparatus.
