Filter paper is usually a poor material on which to powder a solid sample before introducing it into a capillary melting-point tube because small particles of paper may end up in the tube along with the sample. Why is this undesirable? and how might the presence of paper in the sample make the melting-point determination difficult

4. 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)

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?
A student obtained a solid product in laboratory synthesis. To verify the identity of the solid, she measured the milting 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 time the solid HUD a sharp melting point at the temperature that is characteristic of the desired product Why were the two melting points different? What was responsible for the change in the melting point?

Aromatic compound naphthalene melts sharply at 79–81 °C. The melting range will be significantly depressed when very small amounts of impurities are present. Investigate the structure of naphthalene and propose an explanation of why very minor impurities have a very significantly disrupt formation of crystals.
