Impurities will usually lower the melting point of an organic compound. Impurities also increase the range of melting points in the compound. This means the temperature needed for melting isn't consistent.

∙ 13y agoImpurities may lower or rise the boiling and melting points of a substance.
It just depend on which impurities and what substance.
These days we use "impurities" mixed into metals in order to enhance certain properties.
In the world of electronics we do our soldering with soldering wire. This is a mix of many metals. A mix of Tin, Silver and Copper (SnAgCu) has a melting temperature of 222°C, compared to the regular Tin and Lead (SnPb) which melts at 183°C.
Tin, Lead, Silver and Copper all separately have a higher melting point than when mixed together.

∙ 11y agoWhen an impurity is added its boiling point is elevated i.e. its boiling point is increased and in rare cases decrease.
The elevation in boiling point increases with increase in concentration of the solute because on adding the solute vapour pressure of the solution becomes lower than pure solvent. Thus the solution has to be heated more to make the vapour pressure equal to atmospheric pressure. Thus the boiling point gets elevated.
For example boiling point of water is 100oC under normal atmospheric pressure. If we add salt to this water its vapour pressure becomes lower and boiling point increases.
Generally, when 1 mole of any non electrolyte is dissolved in 1 litre of water the elevation of boiling point is 0.530.

∙ 15y agoWhen there are impurities in an organic compound, this affects the melting point in that it is lowered. Impurities also broaden the range of the melting point.

∙ 12y agowell, i believe that it is going to be the same old expected response;the boiling point is raised because of the impurity.

How can the boiling point be raised without adding any soluble impurity?
by pressurizing it.
Can a volatile impurity increase the boiling point of a substance?
See this link for an explanation.
Does boiling point of water slow down with salt?
no. it does not any impurity in water and other all substances rises its boiling point and slows down its melting point . So salt will raise the boiling point of water rather than lowering it
What is melting and boiling point of salt water?
The boiling point is raised to around about 110 degrees Celsius and the freezing point is lowered to about - 4
What would happen to boiling water if an impurity is added?
The boiling point increases, thus the water would stop boiling, unless more energy is suppled than before.
What happens to the melting and boiling point of a substance if it contains impurity?
If the impurity has a higher boiling point then the boiling point of the mixture will also be slightly higher, and vice versa.
Is there a difference in boiling point in water and sulphur water?
Any added impurity can change the boiling point of a liquid.
Does water have a definite boiling point?
no it is depend upon concentration of impurity.
How can the boiling point be raised without adding any soluble impurity?
by pressurizing it.
Can a volatile impurity increase the boiling point of a substance?
See this link for an explanation.
How do you do the project to How does the salt effect the boiling temperature of water?
Because the salt is an impurity it raises the boiling point by density differences
Why does the boiling point of water change when salt is added?
By adding salt it means that you are adding an impurity into the water. Impurities can lower the boiling point, while increasing its melting point.
What is the boiling point of food coloring?
If the food coloring is water-based, it would be slightly above or below the boiling point of water (100 degrees Celsius) depending on the effect of the coloring substance on the water's boiling properties. Some colorings might be oil based, in which case their boiling point would be closer to 150-200 degrees Celsius.
Does boiling point of water slow down with salt?
no. it does not any impurity in water and other all substances rises its boiling point and slows down its melting point . So salt will raise the boiling point of water rather than lowering it

What would happen to boiling water if an impurity is added?
The boiling point increases, thus the water would stop boiling, unless more energy is suppled than before.
How does impurities affect the boiling point of liquid?
Let's say substance A is the substance and substance B is the impurity. The boiling point of the mixture would be somewhere between that of A and B, depending on the amount of impurities in the mixture.
