What are the applications of finding the melting point of an organic compound?

To check the purity of the organic compound.


Is the melting point of organic compound high or low?

Melting point is important in organic chemistry because it can be used for the identification of a compound. For pure solid organic compounds will have a small melting point range (0.5-10C),thus presence of impurity can also be find out by Melting point.


What will happen to the melting point of ice if something is mixed in it?

depends on the compound


True or false an impurity raises the melting point of an organic compound?

False


What are the useful physical property used to identify an organic compound?

For example the melting point.


How can a mixed melting point confirm the identity of an unknown compound?

The melting point is not enough to definitely identify the compound because different compounds may have a similar melting point range. It all depends on the compounds. If you have a compound of acetanilide and flourene, the results will lead to similar melting points of 115 degrees Celsius and 116 degrees of Celsius. The ranges will be similar so it would be hard to definitely identify the compound.


Is a sharp melting point for a crystalline organic substance always indicates a pure single compound?

Nope; not always. So the answer would be false. You have to realize that there might be impure substances mixed. Likewise impure substance can either lower the melting point or increase it :)M. Bilal :)


What is the difference the melting point of organic and inorganic compounds?

The melting points of organic compounds will vary and are related to the boiling points. Organic compounds that have strong cohesive forces will generally have higher melting points.


Is an alloy of aluminum has a melting range instead of a melting point is the alloy a compound?

It is a compound. All pure elements have a certain exact melting point.


Which organic compound has melting point of 122.3-123.0?

hey my lil nova net dude...i have no idea what the answer is but you can cook some brownies for me and we will be friends.


How is the melting of an impure compound expected to change with recrystallization?

The melting point of an impure compound will become closer to that of the actual melting point of the pure substance with recrystallization of your mixture.


How can you differentiate between organic compounds having same melting point using melting point?

you dont.
