Geddy and Neil are measuring the melting point of their starting material prior to their lab experiment: despite analyzing the exact same sample from the same jar, they both measured rather different values, with one measuring a melting point of 141.3–153.6°C and the other measuring a melting point of 143.4–144.9°C. Propose a reason explaining the discrepancy.
