As a boiling water bath was prepared, a boiling chip was added to an Erlenmeyer flask, which was then capped with aluminum foil with a small hole in the center.

The flask was placed in the water bath at an angle while making sure that no water got under the cap. Once the liquid in the flask evaporated, the flask was removed, cooled under cold running tap water, dried with a towel, and weighed again (98.562g). The temperature of the water bath was measured at this time (99.0oC). Another two trials was performed by adding more 5mL of solution to the flask and repeating
