Answer #1

Properties are the characteristics of a substance that enable us to identify the substance and to distinguish it from other substances.

If we know the physical properties of pure substances, we easily find the answer for the given question.

Given that melting point of solid = 47- 49oC

Density of the solid = 1.13 +/- 0.02 g/mL

That means the actual value of density of the solid is somewhere between 1.15 and 1.11 g/mL.

If we check the physical properties of solids data, the data given in the problem agree with the solid lauric acid. So the answer for our question is lauric acid.
