I have a sample of 25 % acetanilide with 75 % caffeine.
I record a melting point range of 198 - 240 degrees celcius
acetanilide's melting point is 114.3
caffeine's melting point is 238
What would cause this huge experimental range?
My thinking is that the acetanilide is covered in caffeine, and finally melts, at a higher temperature. I am not really sure about this, please help!
