Data/Observations:

Results:

Mixture Purified Reagents and conditions Results

Phthalic anhydride Barium chloride 1M solution There were still impurities
Hot water formed therefore, the
mixture is not pure.

Conclusion:

The experiment made by the proponents was conducted well but there are some
impurities which mean there are slight mistakes made. It may be during the heating of
the mixture or dissolving the sublimate in the hot water with the barium chloride solution.
Nevertheless, there was an obvious result. However, what was expected wasnt
achieved.
