Chapter 9, Problem 73QAP
Four shiny solids are labeled A, B, C, and D. Given the following information about the solids, deduce the identity of A, B, C, and D.
(1) The solids are a graphite rod, a silver bar, a lump of "fool's gold" (iron sulfide), and iodine crystals.
(2) B, C, and D are insoluble in water. A is slightly soluble.
(3) Only C can be hammered into a sheet.
(4) C and D conduct electricity as solids; B conducts when melted; A does not conduct as a solid, melted, or dissolved in water.
