Question Please help me answer these questions about an Organic Chemistry Lab: (1) What happens to the molecules in your sample of benzoic acid when you crush the crystals?? (2) A sample of an UNKNOWN compound has a melting point range of 113 – 118°C. Assuming that a correct sample size was chosen to perform this melting point measurement, state in ONE SENTENCE what can you conclude about the purity of this sample and WHY. (3) If you weigh exactly 5g of benzoic acid and then melt the benzoic acid, what will the weight of the benzoic acid be in the liquid form?
