Chapter 17, Problem 3ASA

A given substance is a white, granular solid at 25 °C that does not conduct electricity. It melts at 750 °C without decomposing, and the melt conducts an alternating electric current. It dissolves readily in water, to produce an electrically conductive solution. What would be the proper classification of the substance, based on this information?

Two identical clear liquids were placed in separate containers labeled Sample A and Sample B. Both containers were left open until all the liquid evaporated in each. It was later observed that the container holding Sample A was empty. Meanwhile, white crystalline solids were found in the container of Sample B. Which of the following statements is FALSE about the given situation? Select one: a.The white crystalline solid is soluble in the liquid present in Sample B. b.Filtration can be used to separate the white crystalline solids in Sample B prior to evaporation. c.The absence of residue in Sample A after evaporation implies that it could be a pure substance. d.Sample A and Sample B both exist as one distinct phase before evaporation.
