Document Summary
Instructions: answer neatly and concisely in the spaces provided below, write all responses in ink, including calculations, post-lab questions often require an answer and an explanation of that answer. Reference to chemical structures or equations of relevant reactions are almost always more useful in such. Answers, including reaction mechanisms, which bear strikingly similarities to those of others will be pursued as cases of academic dishonesty. This is true even if your answer came from interaction with the same ta during office hours. Question #1: you are given a sample which is either pure benzoic acid (mp = 122. 5 oc) or pure 2-naphthol (mp = 123 o ). Using what you know about how melting point helps determine whether a sample is pure, describe an experiment which will identify the unknown solute. You should explain how specific observations from this experiment would support the (2. 0 pt) chosen identity.
