the higher you go the less atmospheric pressure= a drop in the meltng point i.e things melt at a lower temp

the higher the altitude the lower the air pressure which results in a lower boiling point in liquids.

Does sugar affect melting point?

No, sugar does not affect the melting point. The melting point of a substance is determined by its chemical composition and structure. However, adding sugar to a solution can affect its boiling point, but that is a different property.

Is the melting point of organic compound high or low?

Melting point is important in organic chemistry because it can be used for the identification of a compound. For pure solid organic compounds will have a small melting point range (0.5-10C),thus presence of impurity can also be find out by Melting point.


How do impurities affect the melting point of compound?

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,
