These two substances are not the same. They are both green and they are both soluble in water. One substance has a melting point of 115 C, is soluble in alcohol, and has density of 1.88 g/cm 3 . The other substance breaks apart at 560 C, is not soluble in alcohol, and has density of 3.60 g/Cm 3. They have different properties. How could the explanation be improved?

hey there!

boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals atmospheric pressure. the vapor pressure of solvent molecules is decreased when a solute is added, so a higher temperature is required to increase the number of solvent molecules in the gas phase above the liquid.

at the freezing point, the vapor pressures of the solid and liquid are equal; a lower temperature is needed to reduce the number of solvent particles above the liquid.

hope this you
