A pure white crystalline compound was found to melt at 112.5-113.0oC when taken on a melting point apparatus, and on further hea

ting, the liquid was found to turn brown at ca. 145-150 oC. The capillary containing the melted compound was set aside to cool, and resolidify. When the sample was retried, using the same capillary the sample melted at 133.6-154.5oC. Why is the melting point higher than 112°, and the range so wide?

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.

kvasek [131]

B.

about the same as for humans

Explanation:

This is why most bacteria, during research in labs, are incubated at 37 degrees centigrade, about the same as human body temperature. In addition, harmful and beneficial bacteria thrive in the human body due to the favorable temperatures for growth and reproduction. To try and fight an infection, the body also tries to raise the body temperatures above the optimal for the bacteria  growth (the reason one has a fever in case of infection).
