Why does caffeine salicylate have a higher melting point than caffeine or salicylic acid?

0

It is often the case the the larger the molecular mass of an object, the higher the melting point. As well, the way the crystals are packed together affects melting point of a chemical. Perhaps the caffeine salycylate just packs itself more efficiently into a crystal. It’s more likely a combination of both points above that would give you the correct answer. Hope that helps!
