melting point
Factors that determine sample size
From a sample of a population, the properties of the population can be inferred.
1. population to deal with in the sample 2. Location. ocation where the sample will be done 3. design. how the sample will be taken 4. result. how the outcome will be determined
The chief aim is to find a representative sample; that is, a sample which reflects the properties of the population, as a whole.
When the sample - whether it is random or systematic - is somehow representative of the population.
Melting point of the sample & Density of the sample
Take a simple random sample.
you will have to determine the properties of your sample, and compare these with a table of properties of metals. Density is a good easy one to start with. But you could consider colour, softness and so on.
The determination is by chemical analysis.
The characteristic properties of a substance are always the same whether the sample one is observing is large or small.

If you had a piece of metal, you could use these properties to determine which element it is. Iron has different physical and chemical properties than the other two elements. The density of iron is much less than cobalt or nickel, and it reacts with oxygen in the air.
No. There are other ways of analyzing a sample to determine whether or not it is diamond, which does not dissolve in hydrochloric acid.
Inductive Reasoning
if the melting point range is between 0.5 to 1 degree celcius
A spectrophotometer can be used to know if a sample is DNA or RNA. DNA has an absorbance maximaat 260nm, whereas RNA has an absorbance maxima at 280nm. By looking at which one of these two wavelengths the sample is more excited, one can determine if the sample is DNA or RNA.
