O (a) A pure dry sample melts well before the expected melting point. O (d) The melting point range is wider than the expected range of 2°C. O (e) All of the above. O (c) The melting point of the sample is significantly higher than expected.

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?
A student in New York City carried ou1t a boiling point determination for cyclohexane {b.p. 81• C) according to the procedure in this laboratory manual. Will this student's observed boiling point be the same as the value obtained by another student in Denver, Co'lorado.{Nicknamed the "Mile-High City" due to its high elevation)? Will it be lower or higher? Ex plain your conclusion.

You are tasked to obtain a solid product from your laboratory activity. To verify the identity of your solid product, you measured its melting point. The results shows that the material melted over a 23º C range. After the material had cooled, you measured the melting point of the same sample again and found that this time the solid had a sharp melting point at the temperature that is characteristic of the solid product. (a) Why were the two melting points different? (b) What was responsible for the change in this melting point?
A student was trying to prepare acetaminophen in the laboratory. She found a melting point range of 169-173. The melting of acetaminophen is reported to be 168-172c. How could the student have verified that the produce is acetaminophen? Retake the sample melting point with more material in the sample. Ask the lab partner to measure the melting point of the sample. Take a mixed melting point with an authentic sample of acetaminophen

The normal freezing point of n-octane 1C8H182 is -57 °C. In what temperature range is it a nonspontaneous process?
Nitroethene, CH2CHNO?, is a very labile compound that must be prepared with care. Ifpurification of nitroethene s attempted, generally only small amounts are recovered, but theinner walls of the distillation apparatus are covered with a white film. Explain.
TRUE OR FALSE: 1. Solids such as naphthalene when heated will pass thru a process called condensation prior to sublimation when being purified. 2.If water and n-propyl alcohol were mixed, the separation of individual components is possible with steam distillation because these two have a wide range of boiling point difference. 3. When an impurity in the synthesized camphor such as sodium chloride is present, the sublimation technique cannot be used to purify the camphor due to the nature of NaCl. 4. Organic solvents such as hexane or ether are an excellent medium to recrystallize an impure benzoic acid 5. In caffeine extraction, it is important that the tannic acid component of coffee be converted to its free acid state to avoid any interference with the extraction of caffeine
