WebMelting of a pure solid occurs at a higher temperature than melting of an impure solid, a concept called melting point depression (or freezing point depression). The melting point is the temperature where the solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium with each other, and the change in free energy \(\left( \Delta G^\text{o} \right)\) for the ...
