-We investigated the heating an
d cooling process for solid and liquid dodecanoic acid. So we'll be able to determine or compare the freezing and melting point.
-We heated and cooled the dodecanoic acid with a hot plate, beaker with water and tube clamps

-When the acid was freezing you can see the white crystals forming and it texture
-When the acid heats up, it is very noticeable, like melting ice but the acid is yellowish white
-We used a thermometer to measure the temperature s of the freezing and melting points of the acid
-We determined that the freezing point was 37'C and melting was 47'C
