more chemistry woes

The point of the laboratory exercise was to DEPRESS the freezing point of the stearic acid-unknown fatty acid solution, and yet my setup clearly didn't know about that because goddamnit the freezing point DIDN'T GO DOWN.

And not only did it NOT go down, my derived molecular weights are all over the place! From 160.107g/mol to 2016.461g/mol in one trial FTW!

This is going to be the crappiest craptastic crap lab report I'll ever pass, the likes of which I hope to never encounter again. *sigh*
