Question
### Experiment Analysis: Surface Tension and Vapor Pressure

**Background**:
Liquid A has a lower surface tension and lower vapor pressure compared to Liquid B. These properties affect how particles behave on the surface of the liquids and their boiling points under reduced pressure.

#### Experiment 1: Surface Tension

**Objective**: 
Determine the heaviest mass of particles (\(m_A\) and \(m_B\)) that can remain on the surface of Liquid A and Liquid B without sinking.

- **Predicted Outcomes**:
  - \(m_A\) will be greater than \(m_B\)
  - \(m_A\) will be less than \(m_B\)
  - \(m_A\) will be equal to \(m_B\)
  - It's impossible to predict whether \(m_A\) or \(m_B\) will be greater without more information

#### Experiment 2: Boiling Point under Reduced Pressure

**Objective**:
Assess the boiling behavior of equal volumes of Liquids A and B when placed in separate 5 L sealed flasks and subjected to a gradual pressure reduction using a vacuum pump.

- **Predicted Outcomes**:
  - Eventually both liquids boil, A first and then B.
  - Eventually both liquids boil, B first and then A.
  - Neither liquid will boil.
  - It's impossible to predict whether either liquid boils without more information.

These experiments utilize the distinct properties of liquid A and B to predict behaviors crucial in chemical and physical processes. Further data or experimental results are needed for conclusive predictions.
