Explain how mixture melting points can be used to distinguish between two compounds

generally melting point of mixture is always different from melting point of pure compound

lets say you have a two compounds called A and B

and you have a unknown compound called X which can be either A or B

now your target is to find unknown is really A or B right?

take some amount of X and mix it with A and B separately

out of these two mixtures one will be pure compound (because we initially assume that unknown can be either A or B)

suppose X + A is same melting with A then X is A

X +B will be less than the melting point of A or

suppose X+B is same melting point like B then X is B

X+A will be less than melting point of B

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.
