What else can I help you with?
Do pure substances have a fixed boiling and melting point?
yes they have
Why do mixtures not have sharp melting points and boiling points?
Because they are not pure compounds !
Explain why the boiling point and the melting point can be used to help identify substances?
100 degrees mate. 100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point for pure water at 1atm or sea level. The boiling point is useful in identifying chemical compounds. Chemical compounds have different boiling points that are specific to it' s chemical composition. If you know what the boiling point or melting point is you can also tell if your compound is pure, as any impurities will change these.
Is Melting point higher than boiling points?
No, boiling points are always higher than melting points. When you turn a solid to a liquid, this process is called melting, and requires a lower temperature than boiling the substance. Take ice water for example. Ice becomes pure water at 0oC. The temperature needed to boil pure water is 100oC, which is a bigger number than zero.
How could you use the physical properties of melting and boiling point to identify a substance?
If you know the melting point and boiling point of a substance, you could look them up in a table to see what substances have those melting and boiling points. In practice, there are lots of other tests you'd probably want to do in addition, because in general there's no guarantee that an unknown substance is a single pure compound.
Do pure substances have a fixed boiling and melting point?
yes they have
How could the identify of a compound be established by melting point?
Pure substances have very specific melting (and boiling) points. Assuming the substance is pure you could measure the melting point and compare it to a known database of melting points.
What are the characteristic of pure substances?
The characteristics of pure substances are:fixed melting pointfixed boiling pointsfixed valencyfixed densitystability
Describe what a pure material or substance is?
These are substances that contain only one type of atoms/molecules. For example, diamond is a pure substance. Diamonds are made of strictly carbon atoms. Melting points and Boiling points of pure substances always remain constant !
For what two purposes are melting points routinely used?
- melting point is a specific characteristic of a substance; consequently we can distinguish these substances knowing the melting point - the knowledge of the melting point is absolutely necessary to design technological processes, to made alloy, to use surely materials at high temperature, etc.
Why do mixtures not have sharp melting points and boiling points?
Because they are not pure compounds !
How do you categorize materials as pure substances or mixtures?
Pure substances have a fixed composition and properties, while mixtures consist of two or more substances physically combined. To determine this, one can carry out tests such as melting point, boiling point, and chromatography to identify if the material is a pure substance or a mixture based on its behavior.
Waxy material that melts gradually starting at 52 Celsius and finishes at 65 is it a pure substance mixture?
The waxy material described is a pure substance. It exhibits a melting point range, suggesting a specific compound with a defined melting temperature range, rather than a mixture of multiple substances with varying melting points.
How are melting and freezing points similar in a chemical?
Melting and freezing points are both physical properties of a substance related to its phase change from solid to liquid (melting) or liquid to solid (freezing) at a specific temperature. These points are the same temperature for a pure substance under constant pressure and can be used to identify and characterize substances.
Explain why the boiling point and the melting point can be used to help identify substances?
100 degrees mate. 100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point for pure water at 1atm or sea level. The boiling point is useful in identifying chemical compounds. Chemical compounds have different boiling points that are specific to it' s chemical composition. If you know what the boiling point or melting point is you can also tell if your compound is pure, as any impurities will change these.
How can the melting and boiling point help you identify it?
Melting and boiling points are physical properties unique to each substance, so knowing these values can help identify a substance. By comparing the observed melting and boiling points of an unknown substance to known values in a database, you can narrow down the possible identities of the substance. Substances with similar melting and boiling points are more likely to be the same compound.
Is Melting point higher than boiling points?
No, boiling points are always higher than melting points. When you turn a solid to a liquid, this process is called melting, and requires a lower temperature than boiling the substance. Take ice water for example. Ice becomes pure water at 0oC. The temperature needed to boil pure water is 100oC, which is a bigger number than zero.
