2. The following mistakes were made when carrying out the experiment. What effect does each have on the
calculated molar mass? Be specific. For example, too large because...
a. Only part of the pipet was immersed in the boiling water, so the temperature in part of the pipet was less
than that of the water bath.
b. The mass of the condensed liquid was not determined quickly. Instead, the pipet was allowed to stand for
a while before immersing it in room temperature water and then massing the pipet.
