how to tell between two solids apart?
« on: January 27, 2012, 12:08:57 AM »
I didn't get this on my test:

Describe what test you could perform to tell the two solids (NaC & C12H22O11) apart and inlcluded results you would expect for each compound. (out of 4 marks)

Thanks in advance :)

What properties do you think either will have?

I'm guessing that is supposed to read NaCl, not NaC?

absorption spectrum
emission spectrum
crystal structure
hardness
melting point
boiling point
pressure to temperature diagram
density
solubility in various solvents
electrical conductivity
thermal conductivity
and others

Yes sorry NaCl*

Thanks a ton :D
