What tests would you most likely perform to determine the identity of an unknown solid?
option A: Conductivity
option B: Density
option C: Boiling point option
D: Reactivity
All of them.
Conductivity can tell you whether it is a metal or a non-metal. Metals are conductors, non-metals are not. The only exception is graphite, which is a non-metal that conducts.
Boiling point can tell you about the strength of the interparticle forces present and thus about the type of solid it is.
Different solids have different densities, therefore can help in the identification of the unknown solid.
Finally, reactivity sheds light on the chemical nature of the solid and thus help identify the unknown.

NOTE: You can submit your answers up to three times. If all three answers are incorrect, you will be given the correct answer and...
1-What solvent you use to determine the density of zinc chloride? 2-The density of a solid with a melting point of 42 to 44 C was determined to be 0.87+- 0.02 g\mL. what is the solid? 3-The density of a liquid whose boiling point is 55 to 57 C was determined to be 0.77+- 0.05 g\mL. what is the liquid? 4-Is diphenylmethane a solid or a liquid at room temperature? 5-What solvent would you use to measure the density of...
1) Suppose you are trying to determine the identity of the metal ions in your unknown mixture for this lab and you find that after step 1 you have a precipitate. You separate the precipitate from the solution and perform step 2 (on the precipitate) and step 3 (on the solution). Your results of step 2 do not yield a precipitate. Your results from step 3 yield a precipitate. Which spot tests should you run to completely determine the identities...
