Consider the following scenario: a small amount of a solid got into a sample when preparing the capillary tube to determine its melting point. The student decided to take the melting point anyway. The student observes the following: (a) a sharp melting point (<2oC); (b) a melting point that closely matches the literature reported value. Which of the following conclusions will not be justified by the experimental results.

Explain how vacancies are introduced in a solid NaCl crystal when divalentcations are added to it.
In benzene, dimerization occurs with benzene due to hydrogen bonding. In 110 g of benzene, 1.70g of acetic acid is dissolved that increases the boiling point by 0.40 oC. What is the expected degree of association of acetic acid? (Use Kb=2.57 Kg mol-1 )?
Given that the solubility of any organic material in a given solvent is due to the intermolecular forces present between the solvent and solute, solvents like hexanes (the alkanes isomers of C6H14) are rarely used for extraction purposes. In the space provided here, suggest a reasonable explanation for this experimental observation.
You synthesized a sample of tetramethylammonium triiodide and managed to measure the melting point. However, the melting point deviates from the ideal melting point for tetramethyl-ammonium tri-iodide, which is 117 degrees C. This suggests that your sample may be impure. Unfortunately, you ran out of time and were unable to carry out the gravimetry. Your demonstrators agreed to help you out, but instead of using gravimetry, they carried out the elemental analysis of your product. The sample contains C - 9.27 %, H -2.33 %, and N - 2.70 %. How many iodine atoms does your sample have according to this analysis?
