QUESTION 10 Under extreme conditions, dulcin (mp about 174 "C) can decompose to give a chemical whose melting point is about 226 "C. A studegt had a final dulcin product that contained a small amount of this other chemical as contaminant. Which one of the following is most likely as this student's observed melting point? A wide range, covering all or a substantial portion of 174-226 "C A wide range, somewhat below 174 °C. A narrow range, somewhere between 174 and 226 °C. None of these is a likely outcome.

QUESTION 10
Under extreme conditions, dulcin (mp about 174 "C) can decompose to give a chemical whose melting point is about 226 °C. A studegt had a final dulcin product that
contained a small amount of this other chemical as contaminant. Which one of the following is most likely as this student's observed melting point?
A wide range, covering all or a substantial portion of 174-226 °C.
A wide range, somewhat below 174 *C.
A narrow range, somewhere between 174 and 226 °C.
None of these is a likely outcome.
