How could we verify that two different samples, with the same melting points, are the same compound? Mix melting method. If the two samples are different compounds that happen to have the same melting point, a half and half mixture of the two samples will have a lower and wider melting point range than either sample by itself. If the two samples are the same compound, a half and half mixture of the two samples will have the same melting point as either sample by itself. All of these
