Interpretation:Whether aThiele micro melting-point technique can be used to determine the exact melting point of an unknowncompound or not needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:The Thiele tube is used to determine the melting point of an unknown compound in quantitative analysis.
It is a laboratory glassware that is heated on an oil bath. The Thiele tube is heated with a small flame. As the boiling point of substance reaches, the heating is stopped and the temperature starts to fall which gives the idea about the boiling point of substance.
For the melting point, the temperature must be checked at which the substance starts melting.

- What are the different melting point apparatus that are available for routine analysis? Describe each.arrow_forwardMelting Point How will you collect data for this experiment? virtually Melting Point Measurement and Correction Approximate melting point of unknown compound: 85 – 96 °C Select an appropriate melting point standard with a melting point closest to the approximate melting point of your unknown compound. Choose the standard: A. 98 – 100 °C Saved A B. 160 – 162 °C C. 252 - 254 °C Measured absolute melting point of the standard: 96 - 98 °C Measured absolute melting point of the unknown compound: 90 - 94 °C Compare the reported and experimental melting points of the standard to determine if any corrections need be done for your unknown melting point. Correction (°C): 92 - 96 Savedarrow_forwardIn order to obtain accurate data it is important to add hear slowly and steadily when the temperature gets close to the melting point of a sample. Why is necessary?arrow_forward

- During the microscale boiling-point determination of an unknown liquid, heating was discontinued at 154°C and the liquid immediately began to enter the inverted bell. Heating was begun again at once, and the liquid was forced out of the bell. Heating was again discontinued at 165°C, at which time a rapid stream of bubbles emerged from the bell. On cooling, the rate of bubbling gradually diminished until the liquid reached a temperature of 161°C and entered and filled the bell. Explain this sequence of events. What was the boiling point of the liquid?arrow_forwardkindly help me with this problem thank you Subject: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY INSTRUCTIONS: solve as neatly as possible and show complete solution.
