1) A. (2 points) Describe the physical properties (color and state) of your crude and purified product. Report the mass and percent yield and show yield calculations. If your yield is low, suggest likely reasons.
B. (1 point) Report the melting point of your purified compound. How does your recorded melting point compare to the literature value? If there is a significant discrepancy, provide a plausible explanation for it.
2) (3 points) Why is the melting point for vanillyl alcohol so much higher than that of vanillin? Use intermolecular forces to guide your answer
