2) What could happen if the adapter were not used?
- - Answers✰ MICROSCALE METHOD (SIWOLOBOFF'S METHOD) ✰
1) Take a small test tube, strap it to a thermometer with a rubber band, and put ≈4-5 drops of your
unknown into the test tube
2) Insert a melting-point capillary tube into your test tube OPEN END DOWN into your unknown
3) Clamp the thermometer so that the thermometer bulb, the test tube, and the open-end-down
melting-point capillary in it are ALL in a WATER bath on top of a HOT PLATE
4) As you heat your unknown, you will notice the AIR in the CAPILLARY EXPAND, and a very SLOW
stream of BUBBLES will start to escape the CAPILLARY as the air leaves it
5) At some point, the BUBBLES will stream FASTER as the LIQUID UNKNOWN begins to BOIL
6) After A WHILE, remove the heat
7) Allow your boiling liquid to COOL
