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?

Expert Solution

Step 1

In order to obtain accurate data it is important to add heat slowly and steadily when the temperature gets close to the melting point of a sample.

It is necessary because slow heating allows to find a more accurate melting point range.

Heating sample too rapidly may cause the thermometer reading to differ from the actual temperature of the heat source.

So slow heating is always the best to find a more accurate melting point range.
