Why is it good practice to perform a mixed melting point determination at two different ratios of unknown to known materials in the melting point capillary?

Respuesta :

The melting point of a particular compound is fixed and it is an important identification of an unknown compound. The practice to determine the melting point of an unknown material In different ratio with a known material is important to get the exact melting point of the unknown material. In different ratio the melting point of the unknown material will be fixed as the melting point of a pure material doesn't depend on the ratio in which they are mixed with other material. To get the exact melting point it is always good to get the melting point twice in different ratio.
