Question

To prepare a sample in a capillary tube for a melting point determination, gently tap the tube into the sample with the ___________ end of the tube down. Continue tapping until the sample. _____________ Then, with the __________ end of the tube down, tap the sample down slowly or __________ to move the sample down faster. Finally, make sure that you can see ___________ in the magnifier when placed in the melting point apparatus before turning on the heat.

Answer 1

Answer: Hello I was able to find the missing options related to your question online but I couldn't attach them hence I just used them to provide the relevant solution

answer:

• Open
• Is a couple of millimeters high
• closed
• Drop tube into a longer tube
• sample clearly

Step-by-step explanation:

OPEN end of the tube down. Continue tapping until the sample. Is a couple of mm high Then, with the Closed end of the tube down, tap the sample down slowly or drop tube into a longer/larger tube to move the sample down faster. Finally, make sure that you can see sample clearly in the magnifier when placed in the melting point apparatus before turning on the heat.
