Question

2. A student prepared a ~1:1 mixture of two pure compounds. The melting range was considerably below the melting ranges of either compound, but the melting range was very narrow (1-2 $^\circ$C). Explain. 3. A student was trying to obtain the melting point of camphor. While the sample was heating, he stepped away from the apparatus for a few minutes. When he returned, he saw that the capillary tube was empty. He
