Pure Compounds
« on: September 02, 2010, 05:51:55 AM »
This is from my book:

Pure organic compound P and pure organic compound Q melts at 110C and 120C. If equal quantities of P and Q are mixed, this mixture will melt below 110C.

Why not suppose the mixture will melt above 110C? I need clarification.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
