A pure compound has a literature melting point of 136 °C. In the laboratory, three different students recrystallized crude samples of the compound and measured the melting point range for the crystals that they recovered. In the order listed, which melting point ranges best correspond to a ‘pure’ compound, an ‘impure’ compound, and a compound that was heated too quickly while measuring its melting point? a. 132 – 136 °C; 134 – 139 °C; 136 – 137 °C b. 132 – 136 °C; 136 – 137 °C; 134 – 139 °C c. 134 – 139 °C; 132 – 136 °C; 136 – 137 °C d. 134 – 139 °C; 136 – 137 °C; 132 – 136 °C e. 136 – 137 °C; 132 – 136 °C; 134 – 139 °C f. 136 – 137 °C; 134 – 139 °C; 132 – 136 °C
