Answer: Use Mixture Melting Point

Step-by-step explanation:

A procedure called mixture melting point would be used to determine whether or not the suspected compound is identical to the unknown.

The two suspected compounds would need to be used to create a new mixture and determine the mixtures melting point. Compare this melting points with that of the unknown compound in order to determine which one of these two suspected compounds is identical to the unknown compound.
