This method is used whenever there is enough of the compound to perform a distillation. The distillation method of boiling point determination measures the temperature of the vapors above the liquid. Since these vapors are in equilibrium with the boiling liquid, they are the same temperature as the boiling liquid.

Is distillate the substance with lower or higher boiling point?

the distillate


How do you determine that the distillate collected is a pure substance?

You can check certain properties, such as density and boiling point.


How does boiling point and melting point find a substance?

The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, while the melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid. These properties are unique to each substance and can be used to identify or characterize them.


What is Initial boiling point?

The initial boiling point is the temperature whereby the first drop of distillate has appeared.


What physical property dose not identify a substance?

boiling point --------- Boiling point is a specific characteristic of a substance or element; the mechanical strength, the viscosity, the electrical resistivity are more difficult to be used for a sure identification of a substance.


What are you physical properties that can help you identify a substance?

The traditional ones are melting point and boiling point.


How would you use the boiling point of a substance to identify a specific substances?

Because each compound has a specific boiling point (with some exceptions) comparing exactly determined boiling points we can identify compounds.


What are two physical properties that can help you identify a substance?

The traditional ones are melting point and boiling point.


What is initial point?

The initial boiling point is the temperature whereby the first drop of distillate has appeared.


Why can boiling points and freezing points be used to identify substance?

It's because substances have different boiling point and freezing point. By finding the exact boiling point and freezing point, you can identify a substance. Keep in mind that a material's melting point is the same as its freezing point. These are just different terms for the same thing, it just depends on whether energy is being removed from a substance (freezing) or if energy is being added to a substance (melting). The same thing also applies to the boiling/condensation point.


Every substance has its own melting point and what?

Every substance has its own unique melting point and boiling point. The melting point is the temperature at which a solid substance changes into a liquid, while the boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas. These physical properties are characteristic of each substance and can be used to identify and distinguish between different materials.


How you would determine that the distilleate collected is a pure substance?

Pure Substances Boil at a Constant Temperature while Mixtures do not, To determine if the Distillate is pure the Liquid distillate would be boiled and for example if the substance is water, it should begin boiling at exactly at 100 degrees celcius if it boils below or above that point it is not a pure substance
