Questions 1. A student performs two melting-point determinations on a crystalline product. In one determination, the capillary tube contains a sample about 1-2 mm in height and the melting range is found to be 141°- 142°C. In the other determination, the sample height is 4-5 mm and the melting range is found to be 141°-145°C. Explain the broader melting-point range observed for the second sample. The reported melt- ing point for the compound is 143°C 2. Another student reports a melting range of 136°-138°C for the compound in Question 1 and mentions in her noteboolk that the rate of heating was about 12° per minute. NMR analysis of this student's product does not reveal any impurities. Explain the low melting point.
