Solutions

Expert Solution

The possible compounds are

glycine : white solid , melting point greater than 100 , soluble in water, sparingly soluble in alcohol, reacts with HCl ((sample # 3)

calcium carbonate : White powder , slightly soluble in water , insoluble in hexane and alcohol , rxn occurs with HCl

aluminum : Shiny gray ((sample # 2)

iron (III) oxide : red coloured (((sample # 7)

adipic acid : White crystals (((sample # 9), soluble in water

dodecyl alcohol: colourless , soluble in ethanol , melting point less than 100 (((sample # 4)

iron : melting point very high, ((sample # 8)

silicon: high melting point , not soluble ((sample # 10)

sodium carbonate : pH greater than 7 (((sample # 12)

potassium nitrate : white solid, soluble in water soluble , conducting, ((sample # 3)

salicylic acid :colorless crystalline : melting point greater than 100 and is known cant say

graphite : shiny gray solid , insoluble in water (sample # 11)
