So what do you guys think is more reliable for identifyig an uknown liquid, its boiling point or molar measurement. I also need reasons as to which one leads to the least errors during calculations.

i prefer boiling point of substances than molar mass coz there is no two substance having the same b boiling point.

Boiling point is much easier and more reliable to measure, so I'd always start with that. In cases where there are multiple boiling points equal to or near what was measured, then maybe the molar mass measurement would help distinguish.
