A different student is given a 10.0g sample labeled CaBr2 that may contain an inert (non-reacting) impurity. Identify a quantity from the results of laboratory analysis that the student could use to determine whether the sample was pure.

Melting Point.

Explanation:

In testing of a sample has impurities, we have to check the samples’s melting or boiling points or we a separation technique called chromatography.

Now, CaBr_2 which is calcium bromide is a White Hygroscopic Powder. Therefore it is a solid.

Now, a pure solid will always have a fixed melting point which means that it will melt completely at only one temperature.

However, if there are impurities, the melting point of a substance is affected in two ways:

-It's lower than than the fixed melting point

- It would melt at a range of different temperatures as opposed to a fixed temperature for the pure form.

Therefore, a quantity that can be used to determine whether the sample was pure will be melting point.
