One of the substances (ethylene glycol) appeared to increase in
temperature as it evaporated (Change in temperature upon
complete evaporation: +1.4). How can this be the case?
What alteration to the experiment could have been done to test and
see if this evaporation could be exothermic or did that liquid even
evaporate at all?
