Melting point of napthalene using thermometer | State | Physics

The melting point of napthalene can be determined by stuffing some into a capillary tube, strapping a thermometer to it, and immersing it a hot bath. As the temperature of water rises, at a particular temperature the napthalene melts out of the capillary tube. Note the temperature, that is the melting point.
