What is the significance of melting point and boiling point |
|
Answer» Melting points are important because they indicate compound purity. If you synthesize a compound and measure its melting point and the melting point is well-defined (i.e., the compounds melts over a very small temperature range) and the temperature agrees with values reported in the literature (if those are available), then it is a strong piece of evidence that the sample is relatively pure. Boiling points are important for the same reason, a well-defined boiling point indicates purity. Boling point 100 degree clelisoiusMelting point 0 degree clesious |
