You are studying the boiling points of liquids with some fellow students. You have two liquids of different molecular weights, and you test each of them twice. You find that the one with a lower molecular weight also has a lower boiling point. You would like to be more confident with the pattern you are noticing. What are two possible next steps? In one to two sentences, give specific, different examples of how the experiment could be extended, assessed, or improved.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
