How is the melting point of asolid and boiling point of a liquidaffected when impurities are added to the substances?
Adding impurities lowers the melting point and raises the boiling point.
How does salt raises the melting point of water?
It doesn't increase the melting point of ice, instead, it lowers it. When a solute (which is the salt) is added to a solvent (which is what dissolves it), the boiling point is increased while both the freezing and melting points are decreased. This is evident in the boiling point elevation and the freezing/melting point depression system.
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.
Does the presence of water raise the melting point of felsic magma?
No. Water lowers the melting point of magma, both mafic and felsic.
What lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point?
Yes, it is possible if the solution contain solutes.
How is the melting point of asolid and boiling point of a liquidaffected when impurities are added to the substances?
Adding impurities lowers the melting point and raises the boiling point.
How does the addition of impurities to a metal affect its melting point?
generally addition of impurities lowers the melting pointand increases the boiling point

Lower the melting point of wax?
I use Petroleum Jelly, (Vaseline) in my wax and it lowers the melting point a bit.
How does adding salt to water affect the way water changes temperatures?
Adding salt to water rises its boiling point but lowers the melting point
What when applied to snow or ice lowers the melting point of the mixture?
Salt lowers the melting point of snow and ice.
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.
What do you think salt does to the melting point of ice?
Salt lowers the melting point of ice.
Does salt affect the temperature of boiling water?
yes. it lowers its temperature. the NaCl is broken apart by the H2O so that the Ions (Na + Cl + H + H +O) are floating around. No new chemical compounds are formed because nothing is precipitated.
What lowers the melting point in alumina?
Cooling the heat source
How does the melting behavior of lauric acid would change if an impurity was introduced in the sample?
An impurity lowers the melting point.
If air is evacuated from a closed container of water how will this affect the boiling point of water?
it lowers the boiling pt temperature
