Interpretation:
The effect of the poor circulation of the bath liquid on the melting point should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Temperature at which an element changes from the solid state to the liquid state is known as melting point or sometimes liquefaction point. At the melting point, both solid and liquid phase coexist in equilibrium. It depends on the pressure and is normally defined at the standard pressure
Answer to Problem 1Q
The measured melting point will be inaccurate as compared to its actual value.
Explanation of Solution
The most important factor in the determination of the melting point is the rate of heating. The rise in temperature should not be greater than

- What are the different melting point apparatus that are available for routine analysis? Describe each.arrow_forwardTrue or false? The stronger the interaction between a component and the stationary phase, the faster the component is moved by the solvent front.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true when considering temperature during a recrystallization? More than one answer may be correct. Using ice to cool the sample will speed up the crystallization process so that large crystals will be formed. It is important that the sample is dissolved in just enough hot solvent. O Ideally the hot solvent used will keep the impurities dissolved OR not dissolve them at all. Enough cold solvent should be added to dissolve the sample BEFORE heating it past its boiling point.arrow_forward

- a student obtained a solid product in a laboratory synthesis. to verify the identity of the solid, she measured its melting point and found that the material melted over a 12°C range. After it had cooled, she measured the melting point of the same sample again and found that this sharp melting point at the temperature that is characteristic of the desire product. why were the two melting point different? what was responsible for the change in the melting point?arrow_forward4. When performing a melting point on a solid compound using a melting point apparatus, two melting point determinations were made. One sample, which was 1 mm in height in the capillary, possessed a melting point of 200.0-200.5°C. The other sample was 25 mm in height. What would you expect the approximate melting point to be for this sample, assuming identical heating rates of 1°/min? (Hint: heat is applied from the bottom of the sample) (Give an actual numerical approximation!) 5. For the same solid compound as the question above, if the 1 mm sample was heated at 60° per minute on a melting point apparatus, what would you expect for an approximate melting point? (note that at this heating rate, the sample will melt rather quickly, but again give an actual numerical approximation)arrow_forwardSee attached graph and: Match the following (Using the letter): Freezing point depression The effect of supercooling Region where liquid is freezing Freezing point of solution Where solid is coolingarrow_forward
