Exp 14 - CRC and b.p.

[robert zellmer]

I'm still getting some questions about how to find the normal b.p.
data.

I have a link to the on-line addition of the CRC on my webpages
and it's on Carmen.  You log in using your OSU name.# and
password.

Once there, go to "Section 3: Physical Constants of Organic Compounds"
(click on the little + symbol).  If you then click on "Physical 
Constants of
Organic Compounds".  That will bring up a 553 page PDF file.  You can
search that for your compounds but it may bring up a lot of things. It's
probably best just to scroll down to what you are looking for (they're 
listed
alphabetically, generally by what's called their IUPAC names, their proper
names).

You could click on "Interactive Table" and then type in your compound in
the "Text Search" box in the upper right-hand corner and then click
"interactive table" again under section 3 (physical constants). That brings
up another table which you can further refine your search.  Click on the
little "filter" in the upper left-hand corner.  You can put all sorts of 
things there
to refine your search, like the molecular formula or molecular wt. 
Actually,
if you type the formula into the initial Text Search box it will pull up 
fewer
results to begin with (although this doesn't seem to work for methanol, 
CH4O).

By the way, if you have propanol you need 1-propanol (not 2-propanol, which
has the common name of isopropyl alcohol - rubbing alcohol).

Typing in C8H18 gives you all the isomers of octane (an 8 carbon compound).

If can find this information elsewhere.  You should cite where you get 
the normal
b.p. data in your report.
