An impure sample will have a lower melting point, and will also have wider melting point range than that of a pure sample of the same substance.

a sharp melting point range can also indicate a eutectic mixture

As impurities are added to a material, the boiling point depresses. An impurity can never cause the boiling point to go up, however.

What is fold purification in protein purification?

A measure of how much more pure your protein is after a purification step in comparison to the crude. You can calculate this by dividing the purified steps specific activity by the crude steps specific activity.


Is petrol from the earth?

Petrol is crude oil that has been purified on earth. It gets purified through processes such as fractional distilation. This is what goes in your car. Crude oil came from when most of the earth had forest and when organisms died they got compacted in a way that made them produce oil over a extremly long period of time. So in a nut shell petrol is from earth.

Does an ice cube melt faster with or without salt?

Any impurity(something that does not belong to the compound but is present in the compound) has effects on the boiling and melting points of a given substance. From yahoo answers,An impurity causes the melting point to deviate from the standard. Actually, it makes the magnitude of the melting point lower. For example, the melting point of benzoic acid is 122.4 degree Celsius. When we did this in the laboratory, we got 120 degree Celsius because of the impurity present which is sodium sulfate.An impurity also causes the melting point to become a melting range. The melting point is not anymore sharp, but a range of values. The more impurities present, the greater the range of values. For example, when we purified crude acetanilide via recrystallization, we obtained a melting range of 105-116 degree Celsius. By the way, the standard melting point of acetanilide is 113-115 degree Celsius.So basically, those are the two effects that impurities have on melting point iof a pre compound. I learned that it is because the impurities "defect" the crystal lattice of the compound. A pure compound is a structure of high molecular symmetry. An impurity is rather assymetrical, or is a poorly organized structure. If the impurites are present with the pure compound, the melting point will deviate because melting point is also dependent on the high symmetry and organization of molecular structures, just as the vapor pressure. This is the principle involved in Sublimati
