The effect of an insoluble impurity, such as sand, on the observed melting point of a compound would be none. It will not depress or elevate the melting point of the compound. Instead, it would affect the reading if you are trying to determine the melting point of the compound. This is because you might be missing  the actual melting point of the compound since you will be waiting for the whole sample to liquify. You would not be able to determine exactly that temperature because of the insoluble impurity would have a different melting point than that of the compound.

In what situation do we use a volumetric flask, conical flask, pipette and graduated cylinder? Explain your answer from accuracy
Ad libitum [116K]
A volumetric flask is used to contain a predetermined volume of substance and only measures that volume, for example 250 ml.
Conical flasks can be used to measure the volume of substances but the accuracy they provide is usually up to 10ml. Conical flasks are used in titrations, reactions where the liquid may boil, and reactions which involve stirring. 
Pippettes are of two types, volumetric and graduated. Pippettes are used where high accuracy is required and volumetric pippettes come in as little as 1 ml. Pippettes are usually used in titrations.
Graduated cylinders come in a wide variety of sizes and their accuracy can be down to as much as 1 ml. They are used to contain liquids.
