Conclusions (write up on a separate sheet of paper)
1. Based on your results, what can you say about the melting point range of a pure substance?
2. Based on your results, what can you say about the melting point range of a mixture?
3. What is the identity of the unknown you tested? Explain your reasoning and provide all pertinent information (unknown #, mp and mixture mp results, and lit mp) in your answer.
Questions (write up on a separate sheet of paper)
1. Why is it important in determining a melting point to (a) pack the sample tightly in the capillary tube, (b) heat the sample slowly as the melting point is approached, (c) use a small sample in the capillary tube, and (d) use a finely ground sample.
2. A vial contains an unknown white crystalline solid. Describe an easy way to determine whether the solid is a pure compound.
