nature.To back this statement‚ it can be deduced that it is hardly impossible for people to stop aquiring knowledge. On a daily basis all of us have to deal with a considerable amount of updatings‚ ideas and views on different things. At this crucial point the obvious question is‚ if we are not particularly aware of the new information‚ we accept everything as fact or we search further to gather evidence in order to understand and prove as true all the information‚ concepts and opinions? This is what

identify new materials‚ scientists use a variety of chemical and physical methods to determine molecular masses. One of these methods includes the Dumas method for determining the molecular weight of a volatile liquid. This method‚ which was proposed by John Dumas in 1826‚ makes use of a volatile liquid (vaporizes at a relatively low temperature) and allows this liquid to be heated in a water bath to a known temperature and escape from a flask through a tiny opening (Giunta‚ 2003). In this situation‚ vapours
