so the melting point becomes 65 degrees Celsius." It's similar to the effect salt has on water: adding salt to a pot of water raises the freezing and boiling points. Where it takes a lot of salt ...

For example, sodium chloride (table salt) has a melting point of 801 °C and a boiling point of 1465 °C, as this heating curve shows: The boiling point of water is 100 °C at normal atmospheric ...
