How can the boiling point of carboxylic acid be determined?
Is there any other method to determine the boiling point?
Yes, another method is to use a capillary tube and melting point apparatus. The sample of the carboxylic acid is sealed inside a capillary tube and is heated slowly until it melts. The temperature at which the solid begins to melt is the melting point, which is very close to the boiling point of the carboxylic acid.
