Question
Chapter 3.3, Problem 7E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:Reason for undesirable use of filter paper in melting point determination should be determined. Also, difficulty in the same by presence of filter paper should be determined.
Concept introduction:Melting point is temperature that involves conversion of substance from solid to liquid state. Both liquid and solid phases are present in equilibrium with each other at this temperature. If two compounds have approximately same melting points, their melting points can be determined by mixed melting point.

Filter paper is usually a poor material on which to powder a solid sample before
introducing it into a capillary melting-point tube because small particles of
paper may end up in the tube along with the sample. Why is this undesirable?
and how might the presence of paper in the sample make the melting-point
determination difficult
Briefly explain how slow cooling contributes to the formation of pure crystals during recrystallization.
4. 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)
