According to the question, the determined melting point of the compound is 112.5-113.0oC. When the solidified compound was retried, the melting point was found to be 133.6-154.5oC. This greater range higher than 112°C is caused by reusing samples leads to errors.
A pure sample is known by its sharp melting point. A pure sample does not melt over a large range. We can see this in the predetermined melting points of the pure sample(112.5-113.0oC).
However, reusing a sample introduces errors because the pure sample may become contaminated leading to a larger and higher range of melting point (133.6-154.5oC) which is far above 112°C.
