Question

The melting points of our Mexico acid and pure 2-napthol are 122.5 Celsius and 123 Celsius respectively. Given an unknown pure sample that is known to be either pure benzoic acid or pure 2-napthol, describe a procedure you might use to determine the identity of the sample. The melting points of our Mexico acid and pure 2-napthol are 122.5 Celsius and 123 Celsius respectively. Given an unknown pure sample that is known to be either pure benzoic acid or pure 2-napthol, describe a procedure you might use to determine the identity of the sample.

Explanation / Answer

One needs to mix the known sample with the unknown sample and one has to determine the melting point of the mixture. Also one has to determine the melting point of the unknown sample. If both the melting points of unknown and the mixture are same, the unknown sample is same as the pure sample.
