A pure white crystalline compound was found to melt at 112.5-113.0oC when taken on a melting point apparatus, and on further hea

ting, the liquid was found to turn brown at ca. 145-150 oC. The capillary containing the melted compound was set aside to cool, and resolidify. When the sample was retried, using the same capillary the sample melted at 133.6-154.5oC. Why is the melting point higher than 112°, and the range so wide?

According to the question, the determined melting point of the compound is 112.5-113.0oC. When the solidified compound was retried, the melting point was found to be 133.6-154.5oC. This greater range higher than  112°C is caused by reusing samples leads to errors.

A pure sample is known by its sharp melting point. A pure sample does not melt over a large range. We can see this in the predetermined melting points of the pure sample(112.5-113.0oC).

However, reusing a sample introduces errors because the pure sample may become contaminated leading to a larger and higher range of melting point (133.6-154.5oC) which is far above  112°C.

Answer: Chemical change

Explanation:

Physical change is a change in which there is no rearrangement of atoms and thus no new substance is formed. There is only change in physical state of the substance. The change can be reversed using physical methods.

Chemical change is a change in which there is rearrangement of atoms and thus new substance is formed. There may or may not be a change in physical state. The change can only be reversed using chemical methods.

Thus when iron and sulfur are heated in a test tube, the chemical change occurs and thus lead to formation of new substances which could not be separated using magnet.

What portion of your salt solution in ice water system is: a. A mixture? b. A solution?
ahrayia [7]

The salt and water are a homogeneous mixture but when salt dissolves in the water system is called a solution of salt and water.

<h3>What is a mixture? </h3>

A mixture is defined as the combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded together.

There are two types of mixture which include:

  • Homogeneous (uniform composition) and

  • Heterogeneous mixtures

When salt is added to the ice water system, it lowers the freezing point of the ice water thereby forming a homogenous mixture of water and salt.

The dissolution of salt in ice water leads to the formation of salt and water solution.

Distinguish between atom molecules, and ions
NNADVOKAT [17]

Explanation:

Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that can't be broken down chemically. Molecules are groups of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost one or more of their valence electrons and therefore have a net positive or negative charge.
