When you tested mixture melting point temperatures in the lab, your records showed that:
a. the melting point of your unknown compound will not change no matter what you are mixing it with,
so the melting point range will stay always narrowed and not depressed.
b. the melting point of your unknown compound will be lower and the range broader if you mixed it
with an organic compound different from your unknown.
c. organic compounds and insoluble inorganic compounds that do not mix when melted give a melting
range that is sharp even though there are inorganic impurities in the sample.
d. b and c only
e. a and c only - ✔✔b and c only
higher vapor pressure= ____ volatile and ____ boiling point - ✔✔more; lower

c. AgNO3
, d. AgBr
e. AgI - ✔✔AgCl
In recrystallization, a hot filtration is sometimes carried out in order to:
a. remove the insoluble, solid impurities
b. decrease the amount of solvent
c. allow the volatile impurities to escape
d. remove soluble impurities
e. induce crystallization - ✔✔remove the insoluble, solid impurities
At what temperature is a high‐boiling, high molecular weight, water‐immiscible compound distilled
