You have completed a synthesis and are now obtaining a melting point of the synthesized compound. The literature melting point is 126.2 °C - 128.4 °C. You determine the melting point to be 121.5 °C - 126.8 °C with a run at 2 °C per minute. You also determine that there is an erroneous signal in your IR spectrum. Which statement most accurately describes what you have going on here? O Your compound is not pure and is undergoing melting point depression. You may have added too much sample. None of these are correct. You may have added not enough sample. O There isn't an issue here, melting points are off all of the time.
