Question
Chapter 3, Problem 4Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The observed and the true melting point due to the rapid heating of the melting point bath should be compared.
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

Students have asked these similar questions
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
How does the rate of temperature elevation influence the results of the melting point determination?
In order to obtain accurate data it is important to add hear slowly and steadily when the temperature gets close to the melting point of a sample. Why is necessary?

It is very important to regulate the temperature of the heating mantle so that the distillation occurs at a rate of about 1 drop per 2 seconds. Explain why?arrow_forwardA student placed about 1 cm of freshly recrystallized loosely packed solid into a melting-point capillary tube. The student noted that the solid melted 30 degrees lower than expected and the solid seemed to jump/separate in the tube as the temperature increased in the melting point apparatus. When the student measured the melting point the following day with less solid that was more tightly packed, the melting point was at the literature value.
