Question
Chapter 12, Problem 4E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Never remelt any sample and they don’t just cool and solidify in exactly the reverse manner that they heated and melted is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. This change occurs in atmospheric pressure and during melting point the two phases (solid and liquid) exist in equilibrium.
Usually take melting points in thin, closed-end tubes called capillary tubes, they are also called melting-point tubes or even melting-point capillaries.

Which method would you use to determine water content in packaging material, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics? Mention few advantages of this method.
Suppose a student heated the hydrate sample for approximately five seconds instead of one minute. What would be the
result of not heating the sample long enough?
The solid sample will completely decompose into water and anhydrate.
Water may still remain in the solid sample.
There might be insufficient heat to form the hydrate.
The volume of the hydrate sample will increase.
2. The goal behind suction filtration is to remove soluble impurities that are on the
surface of the crystals. Therefore, why can't you simply use suction filtration
instead of recrystallization to purify an impure solid?

- Sublimation is preferred over recrystallization when you work with an amount of solid material to be purified that weighs: A) at least 1 kg B) about 100 mg C) about 1 mol D) about 1000 ml A ODarrow_forwardIn the above image, you have a solid at less than 0 oC. As you add heat (Q), the temperature of the solid increases until it hits a point when it would start melting. In the case of water, this is at 0 oC. Notice that at this point the temperature stops rising and we have a mixture of solid/liquid. We are still adding heat but the temperature is not changing. Once all of our solid becomes liquid, the temperature starts to rise again until it hits another plateau, at 100 oC. This is the point where the water boils and starts becoming a gas. Again, we add heat but the liquid/gas mixtures temperature does not change. Once all the liquid has become gas, the temperature will start to rise again.

- Recall the last time you bought a cup of coffee or hot chocolate on a particularly cold day. The cup likely felt warm when you held it in your hand. The cup your beverage came in is not too different from the ones we used in this experiment. Based on this, do you think a coffee cup is a perfect insulator? If not, how might this affect your results? Group of answer choices No; the specific heat calculated is lower than it should be due to the heat lost Yes; the specific heat calculated is lower than it should be due to the heat lost No; results will not be affected since the calorimeter contains all heat indefinitely Yes; results will not be affected since the calorimeter contains all heat indefinitelyarrow_forwardCloth can be waterproofed by coating it with a silicone layer. This is done by exposing the cloth to (CH3)2SiCl2 vapor. The silicon compound reacts with OH groups on the doth to form a waterproofing film (density = 1.0 g/cm3) of [(CH3)2SiO]n, where n is a large integer number. n (CH3)2SiCl2 + 2n OH 2n Cl + n H2O + [(CH3)2SiO]n The coating is added layer by layer, with each layer of [(CH3)2SiO]n being 0.60 nm thick.
