We have already noted two sources of systematic error in the use of this method: not enough sample to displace all the air from the flask and the finite vapor pressure of the unknown. Consider the following possible errors. For each one, describe how the results might be impacted. Please try to be specific (e.g. “The molar mass will be overestimated because…”) The volume of your flask was found by weighing it, filled with water, at room temperature (20ºC).  At 100ºC, because of the expansion of glass, the volume is slightly greater.  How could this affect your results?
