Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The qualitative estimation of the melting point for an unknown compound suspected to be acetanilide that is mixed with 10% weight of naphthalene should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Temperature at which an element changes from solid state to liquid state is known as melting point or 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 (1atm).

A student is working with cinnamic acid (lit. mp 133 °C) and sebacic acid (lit. mp 133 °C). After weighing out a sample of one of the acids, she forgets to label the vial and does not know which acid she has. How can the student use melting point analysis to determine the identity of her sample?
Naphthalene, C10H8 is insoluble in water but sublimes easily when heated. How could you separate a mixture of naphthalene and NaCl? Suggest two different methods.  asap
The distribution coefficient (K) of formic acid (HCO2H) in 1-octanol versus water is 0.39. If a solution of 4.00 grams of formic acid in 100.00 mL of 1-octanol is extracted with one 10.00 mL portion of water, how many grams (to the hundredths place) will remain in the organic layer?
