    Why does melting point of impure benzoic acid is higher than that of the pure benzoic acid? Usually the melting point of pure compound should be higher than the impure one, because the impurities messes up of the crystalline lattice by blocking their formation and creates irregularities.

    122.3 °C

    Furthermore, what is the accepted literature value for the melting point of benzoic acid? Benzoic acid Properties Melting point: 121-125 °C(lit.)

    Simply so, what would cause a higher melting point?

    A strong attraction between molecules results in a higher melting point. In organic compounds, the presence of polarity, especially hydrogen bonding, usually leads to a higher melting point. The melting points of polar substances are higher than the melting points of nonpolar substances with similar sizes.

    What is the melting point of recrystallized benzoic acid?

    The melting point of the crude benzoic acid was 118-122 C, while the melting point of the recrystallized benzoic acid was 114-122 C. When recrystallized using just water as the solvent the benzoic acid appeared as a white, powdery solid weighing . 87g.
