In short, yes! The melting point of a substance will change based on the air pressure as well as the temperature. In fact, though very unlikely, it's possible for a liquid to solidify if the pressure drops enough and it's cold enough, or if it's warm enough for the liquid to evaporate.

How is the melting of an impure compound expected to change with recrystallization?
The melting point of an impure compound will become closer to that of the actual melting point of the pure substance with recrystallization of your mixture.
What is the melting point of compound Benzoin?
137
What effect would too rapid heating have upon apparent melting point of a compound?
The melting point of the compound would be lower than it actually is.
How you know specific compound from another by melting point?
Melting point is a unique characteristic of a substance.
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.
Is an alloy of aluminum has a melting range instead of a melting point is the alloy a compound?
It is a compound. All pure elements have a certain exact melting point.
How is the melting of an impure compound expected to change with recrystallization?
The melting point of an impure compound will become closer to that of the actual melting point of the pure substance with recrystallization of your mixture.
What are the applications of finding the melting point of an organic compound?
To check the purity of the organic compound.
What information can be obtained from the melting point of a compound as an industrial chemist?
purity of a compound
What is the melting point of compound Benzoin?
137
What effect would too rapid heating have upon apparent melting point of a compound?
The melting point of the compound would be lower than it actually is.
Does ionised metal have a lower melting point?
When a metal is ionised it forms a compound - depending on what the compound is and what metal we are talking about the melting point of the compound may be more or less than the mp of the metal
What is the melting point of the ionic compound RaCl2?
The melting point of radium chloride is 900 0C.

How can a mixed melting point confirm the identity of an unknown compound?
The melting point is not enough to definitely identify the compound because different compounds may have a similar melting point range. It all depends on the compounds. If you have a compound of acetanilide and flourene, the results will lead to similar melting points of 115 degrees Celsius and 116 degrees of Celsius. The ranges will be similar so it would be hard to definitely identify the compound.
Is it possible for a polar covalent compound to have a lower melting point than a non-polar covalent compound?
It is not possible for the polar covalent compound to have a lower melting point than the non-polar covalent compound because they have ionic bonds.
