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,

∙ 13y agoSince most substances have a very specific melting point (within 1-2 degrees of a specific temperature) it is very easily altered when the substance is impure. Any mixing of a substance with another will cause the mixture to have properties of bothsubstances. In this case, the melting point would be a combination average of all the melting points of all the substances in the mixture.

Impurities will depress the melting and freezing point from that of the pure substance.

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.
Effects of impurities and pressure on melting point of water?
melting point decreases with pressure and increases with impurities (like saw dust). boiling point increases with impurities and also increases with pressure.
What is melting point depression?
This is the modification of melting (freezing) point due to impurities in the material.
How would you determine the purity of the solid crystals in crystallization?
One of the easier and more reliable ways to check if a solid compound is pure after re-crystallization is to check its melting point. Impurities will always lower the melting point of a sample, and the more impure, the lower the melting point will be. By checking the melting point of your sample with a reference value from a book or reliable internet source, it can be determined exactly how impure the sample is. If perhaps your compound is unknown, and thus are unable to obtain a reference value, you could obtain melting point of the sample, and then re-crystallize a few more times, obtaining a new melting point each time, until it is unchanged by re-crystallizing. This will of course decrease your yield, but if there is little fluctuation in your series of melting points, you can be sure you have a relatively pure sample.
What effect would contaminating the sample with an insoluble impurity have on the melting point?
Soluble impurities (that is, impurities that are included within the crystal matrix) tend to lower the observed melting point and broaden the melting point range. Insoluble impurities have no effect on the melting point. Found from website: http://swc2.hccs.edu/pahlavan/2423L1.pdf
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
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.

How do you prove that glucose do not raise the melting point of stearic acid?
No, impurities do not raise the melting point of Stearic Acid, they decrease it. All impurities decrease the melting point of solids.

Who has higher melting point Pure or Impure Substance?
The melting point of an impure compound is almost *always* lower than that of a pure compound.

To increase Melting and boiling point of Zinc what is to be done?
To increase MP and BP point of Zinc u should add some impurities in it. The addition of impurities always decreases the melting point .
Effect of impurities on melting point and melting point?
According to RAOULT, when two different metals of different melting points are melted or alloyed there melting points considerably change. So,according to the percentage of impurities, the melting points either increase or decrease.
