Introduction In Experiment 15: Freezing and Melting of Water, we saw that the temperature of pure water remains constant at its freezing temperature during the freezing and melting process. Now we are going to observe the freezing process of phenyl salicylate. Furthermore, we will observe the effect on the freezing point, when a small amount of another substance (e.g. benzoic acid) is dissolved in the phenyl salicylate.
