Marcel slowly heated cold water until
it boiled, and he checked the temperature every minute. He recorded his results
in the data table below.
Use the information provided above to
answer the questions below.
24. Marcel suggested some limitations to what he could conclude
from his results. This was most likely because:
a) He had trouble reading thermometers and figured he made
a mistake.
b) He worked by himself and might have missed the time be a
few seconds in his readings.
c) He only did a single trial during his experiment.
d) Water is not the best liquid to use for chemistry experiments.
The best answer is c. He only performed
one trial, which limits the validity of his experiment!
