How does increasing the molality of sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions from 0.5 m to 6.0 m, in 0.5 m intervals, affect their boiling point, compared with theoretical values derived from the Van’t Hoff factor?HL

Criteria Feedback
- You framed a focused, chemically specific question with clear variables and an appropriate theoretical comparison.
- You justified key design choices well, especially the use of molality and the chosen concentration range.
- You included enough procedural detail and controls for the investigation to be broadly reproducible.
- Some procedural details still need tightening, especially stirring conditions and exactly how apparatus was assigned across trials.
- The method does not fully resolve the issue of incomplete dissolution at the highest concentrations.
- A few steps, such as calibration and endpoint wording, could be stated more precisely for complete reproducibility.

Criteria Feedback
- You present raw and processed data in an organized way that is easy to follow.
- You calculate means, use regression, and compare your experimental trend with a theoretical expectation.
- You make some meaningful use of uncertainty information and include labelled graphical presentation.
- The treatment of uncertainty is incomplete, especially where replicate spread is much larger than the quoted error bars.
- Some processing choices do not fully match the behaviour of the data, particularly at the highest concentrations.
- There are a few precision and consistency issues in the way results are reported.
