Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The importance of the tightly packed sample in the melting point capillary should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Temperature at which an element changes from the solid state to the liquid state is known as melting point or sometimes liquefaction point. At the melting point, both solid and liquid phase coexist in equilibrium. It depends on the pressure and is normally defined at the standard pressure (1atm).

Compare the experimental melting point of dibenzalacetone with its literature melting point. What does that tell you?
1. Why does the solid need to be finely ground and then tightly packed in a melting point capillary tube?
Show in a detailed manner. 1. Draw and label the set-up for melting point determination using capillary tube. 2. Differentiate melting point and melting point range.
