How could you use the physical properties of melting and boiling point to identify a substance?

Since the chemical composition of the substance stays the same, such as that of water in the above mentioned example, melting and boiling are physical changes. And hence, boiling points and melting points are physical properties. Since they are a property of the material, they can be used to identify it.

Explanation:

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
