The melting point of a pure substance is the temperature at which it transitions from solid to liquid. Different compounds typically have different melting points due to their unique molecular structures and interactions. Show more…

An unknown compound (x) melts at 60°C and is mixed with a compound (y) that melts at 45°C and is soluble in x. Will the Melting point for the mixture start below 45°? I think so, because if you look at ice and salt for an example, salt has a way higher melting point than water does, but it lowers the melting point of water anyway. This is the opposite of the question though. Y is soluble in X and has a lower melting point, but salt has a higher melting point and is soluble in water. I don't know if this is a good way to think about the question.

A pure compound melts at 48-49 degrees Celsius. If a few grains of sand are mixed in with the first compound, what happens to the melting point? The sand would raise the melting point. The sand would lower the melting point. The sand would have no effect on the melting point. It is impossible to determine without knowing the identity of the compound.
