Question

We are doing a lab about solid and liquid flammability of two unknown solids and one unknown liquid. We placed the samples on a crucible lid and held it over a bunsen burner.The unknown liquid was flammable, producing a yellow flame but the two unknown liquids were not. Questions: If your compound does not burn, what classification of chemical compounds would be indicated? What does a rapid burn rate of your liquid indicate? If your compound does not burn, what is the chance that it will have a melting point below 150 C?

Explanation / Answer

Solutions :-

If your compound does not burn, what classification of chemical compounds would be indicated?

Compopund is not burning means the the identity of the compound is that it may be an ionic compound or non flamable compound. Because organic compounds burns.

What does a rapid burn rate of your liquid indicate?

Rapid burn indicates that the compound is flamable and burns fastly. It may contain the aromatic compounds.

If your compound does not burn, what is the chance that it will have a melting point below 150 C?

When the compound is not burning in the flame test then it have chance that the compound have very high melting and boiling point. Therefore they do not burn easily.
