How could measuring the melting point of a solid help decide whether it was a mixture or a compound?

Respuesta :

Answer: It can't.

Explanation:

In most cases, the melting point alone will not enable you to identify a compound. Millions of solid organic compounds, and their melting points, are known. Perhaps 10,000 of these will have the same melting point as your unknown compound.

Hope this helps!
