Interpretation:
The effect of the poor circulation of the bath liquid on the melting point should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Temperature at which an element changes from the solid state to the liquid state is known as melting point or sometimes liquefaction point. At the melting point, both solid and liquid phase coexist in equilibrium. It depends on the pressure and is normally defined at the standard pressure
Answer to Problem 1Q
The measured melting point will be inaccurate as compared to its actual value.
Explanation of Solution
The most important factor in the determination of the melting point is the rate of heating. The rise in temperature should not be greater than

- What limitations are encountered in the apolication of sublimation as a general method of purification?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true when considering temperature during a recrystallization? More than one answer may be correct. Using ice to cool the sample will speed up the crystallization process so that large crystals will be formed. It is important that the sample is dissolved in just enough hot solvent. O Ideally the hot solvent used will keep the impurities dissolved OR not dissolve them at all. Enough cold solvent should be added to dissolve the sample BEFORE heating it past its boiling point.arrow_forwardTrue or false? The stronger the interaction between a component and the stationary phase, the faster the component is moved by the solvent front.arrow_forward
- In order to obtain accurate data it is important to add hear slowly and steadily when the temperature gets close to the melting point of a sample. Why is necessary?arrow_forwarda student obtained a solid product in a laboratory synthesis. to verify the identity of the solid, she measured its melting point and found that the material melted over a 12°C range. After it had cooled, she measured the melting point of the same sample again and found that this sharp melting point at the temperature that is characteristic of the desire product. why were the two melting point different? what was responsible for the change in the melting point?arrow_forward4. When performing a melting point on a solid compound using a melting point apparatus, two melting point determinations were made. One sample, which was 1 mm in height in the capillary, possessed a melting point of 200.0-200.5°C. The other sample was 25 mm in height. What would you expect the approximate melting point to be for this sample, assuming identical heating rates of 1°/min? (Hint: heat is applied from the bottom of the sample) (Give an actual numerical approximation!) 5. For the same solid compound as the question above, if the 1 mm sample was heated at 60° per minute on a melting point apparatus, what would you expect for an approximate melting point? (note that at this heating rate, the sample will melt rather quickly, but again give an actual numerical approximation)arrow_forward

Discuss how your results would be affected if you had used the wrong solutions to rinse the glassware. Briefly explain your answers.arrow_forward
- Impure acetanilide was dissolved in hot water. The solution was filtered hot and the beaker of solution was immediately placed in an ice-water bath instead being allowed to cool slowly. What will be the result of cooling the solution in this manner?arrow_forward3. The phase diagram for the simple system aluminum copper is drawnbelow. Answer the following questions by referring to this diagram.A. How many phases will be present if an aluminum-copper mixture containing 80% copper is heated to 1000oC?B. If the system described in (A) is slowly cooled, at what temperature willa solid start to appear? What is this solid?C. What phases will be present if the mixture (A) is further cooled down to600oC?D. What is the concentration of the saturated solution of copper inaluminum at 800oC?E. For a mixture given in (A), at what temperature will the eutectic mixturecrystallize out?F. What is the percentage by weight of copper in the eutectic mixture formed in (E)?arrow_forwardWhen performing a recrystallization of an impure solid, why is it important to allow the heated solution to cool slowly? Group of answer choices To encourage greater solid solubility. For the molecules of the solid being purified to arrange in organized crystal lattices. To avoid the need for using ice to cool the solution. To trap particles in the crystal lattice.arrow_forward
