Melting point of a solid involves the temperature changing from solid to liquid. Solid and liquid exist in in-equilibrium. The liquid to solid process is known as freezing or crystallisation.The principle of observing the disappearance rather than the forming of ice is known as the melting point.

Why is the melting point determination not used to find the melting point of inorganic compounds?
Because it has a very high melting point, and therefore we do not have the ability to be measured.RegardsDr. Mahmoud Hassouna
Why is it misleading to identify a solid compound just from a lone melting determination?
Because the melting point can be very similar; also impurities change the value of the melting point.
Determination of melting pont of ice and the boiling point of water?
At standard pressure: - Melting point of ice: 0 0C - Boiling point of water: 100 0C
How do the melting and boiling point determine the purity of the substance and identify them?
*usually* melting point is a good indicator of a substance's purity. The technique of melting point determination is used frequently in organic chemistry labs.
When are oil baths and water baths used respectively for melting point determination?
oil is used when we are determining the melting point of compound higher than 100 while for those compound which have melting point less then 100 we use water bath

How can melting point and boiling point determination be used in identifying and or characterizing unknown compounds?
compounds are identified because each compound have characteristically different melting and boiling points.

oil is used when we are determining the melting point of compound higher than 100 while for those compound which have melting point less then 100 we use water bath
Why do you use a new capillary tube for melting point determination each time?
It is not easy to be cleaned inside.
Why paraffin used for determination of melting point?
i dont know asked some one else to asked
Why we use paraffin for determination of melting point?
Liquid paraffin is used in thermostatic baths, to maintain a constant temperature.

Why is it not a good to do melting point determination on large samples?
It would take hours and hours to heat the entire sample up so slowly from outside to the inside to reach the same temperature everywhere, because for a sharp melting point determination the temperature differences (outside-inside) should be as small as possible.
What is the conclusion of melting and boiling point?
the conclusion is that the melting points and boiling points of various substances or chemicals are different. Some have m.p. but some don't have while some have b.p. but some don't have.it varies from chemical to chemical.
