Key Points
- The melting point of the solid phase of a pure substance is a more reproducible temperature.
- Solubility of one liquid in another Suppose substances A and B are both liquids when pure.
- Cellulose is a polymer made up of glucose monomers, as is the more familiar polysaccharide, starch, but the two have very different roles, one struc tural and one energy storage.
- Cotton's simple Micronaire value is determined by both the fineness of the fibres as well as their maturity.
