Question
Correct and incorrect option explain and correct answer please
Nazia is trying to determine if an unknown solid is really compound X or compound Y. Which steps will she
need to take to get her answer?
A Measure the melting point of each and compare.
Measure the melting point of the unknown and find a match to a known compound in the
literature.
Mix the unknown, X, and Y all together and take a melting point. If the new MP is closer to X then
the unknown is X. If the new MP is closer to Y then the unknown is Y.
Prepare two mixtures: unknown with X and unknown with Y. Then take the melting points of the
(D) mixtures. If one of the mixtures does not give a depressed melting point range compared to pure X
or Y, then the unknown is the compound of that mixture.
