Determine whether each melting point observation corresponds to a pure sample of a single compound or to an impure sample with multiple compounds.

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Determine whether each melting point observation corresponds to a pure sample of a single compound or to an impure sample with multiple compounds.

Experimental melting point is BELOW literature value

Experimental melting point is CLOSE to literature value

WIDE melting point range

NARROW melting point range

narrow melting point-pure sample of a single compound

experimental melting point is close to literature value-pure sample of a single compound

wide melting point range-impure sample of multiple compounds

experimental melting point is below literature value-impure sample of multiple compounds

Explanation:

The experimental melting point of a pure single compound is sharp and extremely close to the melting point of the substance as recorded in the literature. Usually, a pure substance melts within a narrow range of temperatures.

Impure samples of multiple compounds melt over a range of temperatures. Also if the experimental melting point is well below the record in literature, then the sample is contaminated by other compounds.

the density of gold = 19.3 g/cm3

the relation between density and mass and volume is

density = mass / volume

given :

mass of gold = 13 g

density = 13g / volume = 19.3

volume = 13 /19.3 = 0.67 cm^3

thus volume of gold nugget = 0.67 cm^3

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
