a student performs two melting point determinations on a crystalline product.
In one determination, the capillary tube contains a sample about 1-2mm in height and the melting range is found to be 141 - 142 degree C. In the other determination, the sample height is 4-5 mm and the melting range is found to be 141-145 degree C.
Explain the broader melting point range observed for the second sample. The reported melting point for the compound is 143 degree C.

2. Another student reports melting range of 136 - 138 degree C for the compound in Question 1 and mentions in her notebook that the rate of heating was about 12 degree/ min. NMR analysis of this student's product does not reveal any impurites, explain the low melting point.

This line graph compares the growth of plants that were kept in the sun for different amounts of time.a)  on day 7, the plants kept in the sun for 3 hours were how tall? b)  on day 7, the plants kept in the sun for 6 hours were how tall? c)    on day 10, the plants kept in the sun for 9 hours were how tall? d)  on day 11, the plant that was grown with 1 hour of sunlight was how tall? e)  based on the graph, the plant grows best in what amount of sunlight?

Predict the products of the following acid-base reactions, and predict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the reaction arrow. part ao2-(aq)+h2o(l)< => express your answer as part of a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. o2-(aq)+h2o(l) < => oh-(aq)+oh-(aq)part bpredict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the equation in previous part. h2o is a stronger acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the right. h2o is a weaker acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the left. h2o is a stronger acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the left. h2o is a weaker acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the right. part cch3cooh(aq)+hs?
