Analysing compounds Flashcards
1
Q
Melting point analysis allows us to
A
Determine the purity of a product
2
Q
Pure solids melting point
A
Have defined values that fall within narrow ranges and not significantly impacted by atmospheric pressure
3
Q
Mixed melting point analysis
A
Product is mixed with pure desired product. If identical then melting point obtained. Any impurities will lower MP as inter molecular bonding is disrupted by impurities. Further from exact MP, more impurities
