A pure crystalline "compound A" has a melting point 105-107 °C. If this compound i mixed with a small amount of another compound, what happens to the melting point? It would have no effect on the melting point. It is impossible to know what would happen. It would raise the melting point and the range would decrease. It would lower the melting point and the range would widen.
