9-flourene : 49-51 C

and for the mix of crude is 59-71 C

some information about Discussion:

Discussion: The purpose of the discussion is to interpret and compare the results. For this section, list all the important factual information that you obtain from the experiment and then discuss these factual results. For example, report the experimental melting point, % recovery or % yield, etc and then compare this with the literature value and derive a conclusion from this result. For some of the experiments, your instructor might indicate a focus of the discussions. The discussion may also answer the following questions:
