Unknown X mixed in a 50/50 ratio with acetaminophen yielded a melting range of 154-162°C · - Unknown X mixed in a 50/50 ratio with 1,4-dihydroxybenzene yielded a melting range of 169-172°C Given the data above, what is the identity of unknown X? (Multiple Choice: Only one answer is correct, and only one answer can be selected) A. 1,4-Dihydroxybenzene B.Neither acetaminophen or 1,4-dihydroxybenzene C. Acetaminophen
You suspect a given substance, unknown X, to be either pure acetaminophen (melting point = 169°C) or pure 1,4-dihydroxybenzene (melting point = 172°C). Subsequently, you perform a mixed melting point analysis by making the following three samples that yield the results below: ·
- Unknow X alone yielded a melting range of 165-169°C ·
- Unknown X mixed in a 50/50 ratio with acetaminophen yielded a melting range of 154-162°C ·
- Unknown X mixed in a 50/50 ratio with 1,4-dihydroxybenzene yielded a melting range of 169-172°C
Given the data above, what is the identity of unknown X? (Multiple Choice: Only one answer is correct, and only one answer can be selected)
A. 1,4-Dihydroxybenzene
B.Neither acetaminophen or 1,4-dihydroxybenzene
C. Acetaminophen
