-------------------------------------------------
The aim of this lab was to determine the volume of one mole of hydrogen gas at STP (standard temperature and pressure). In the experiment, a magnesium ribbon was placed at the bottom of an eudiometer tube and allowed to react with 2M hydrochloric acid. The volume of hydrochloric displacement was measured and calculations determined the molar volume of hydrogen gas produced inside the eudiometer tube. After performing and taking the average data of two trials, it was concluded that the calculated value of one mole of hydrogen gas at STP was about 22.35 L/mol. Rounding up, it can be concluded that one mole equals 22.4 L/mol, which is the accepted value of the volume one mole of an ideal gas takes up. However, there was a

    Then from this number the amount of water that was in lost was measured at 1.1 g. After this then the number of moles of anhydrous were calculated from the molar mass of anhydrous. Then the moles of water were calculated. Then the stoichiometric coefficients for each component were calculated. The results found that there was two moles of anhydrous and 35 for water. Thus the empirical formula was found to be:…

    The purpose of this lab was to determine the atomic weight of magnesium by measuring the amount of hydrogen gas evolved when hydrochloric acid reacted with magnesium. In order to measure the atomic weight I needed to measure the amount of the hydrogen gas that was evolved in reaction to the acid of the magnesium. The reaction used was: Mg + 2HCl --> H2 + Mg2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq). The major findings of this experiment were that there was a chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium, and the reaction produced the hydrogen gas. The results also indicated how many moles of hydrogen gas were equal to the amount of moles of magnesium consumed.…

    molar mass ap chem

    Molar masses, can be seen and used daily in chemistry. In this lab, the ideal gas law helps determine and evaluate the molar mass of gases and volatile liquids. The ideal gas law compares four properties of a gas which include pressure, volume, moles, and temperature. During this experiment, the moles would be unknown, in effect the student must use a substance mass divided by its molar mass. With this, the ideal gas law can be arranged in an equation fit for helping the student determine the molar mass of a gas.…

    Molar Mass

    Molecular weight is sum of the mass of atoms of each element in a compound. The mass of atoms are given in the periodic table, stablished and are called molar masses. For example the chemical formula of ammonia is NH3 meaning that in the compound there are 1 mol of N atoms and 3 mol of H atoms. The molar mass of 1 mol of nitrogen atoms is 14.01 g and the molar mass of 1 mol of hydrogen atoms is 1.008 g. Therefore the molecular weight will be 3 times the molar mass of hydrogen plus the molar mass of nitrogen as shown…

    Molar Volume Lab Report

    Molar volume is the name given to the volume that one mole of any gas occupies at standard temperature and pressure. In chemistry, many of the materials worked with are gases. It is often easier to measure the volume of a sample of gas, rather than determine its mass. The main purpose of this lab is to determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas experimentally in order to compare it to the theoretical molar volume of ideal gases. In this experiment, a known mass of magnesium is reacted with an excess amount of hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. The amount of hydrogen gas produced is collected by the displacement of water. This volume is used to calculate the molar volume of hydrogen gas. This data can then be used to compare the experimental molar volume of hydrogen gas and that of ideal gases at STP (standard temperature and pressure), by first using the Combined Gas Law (P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2) to find the experimental molar volume at STP, followed by the Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT) to find the molar volume of any gas at STP. The partial pressure of the hydrogen gas must be found before the combined gas law can be used. It is found using Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure (P=PH2+PH2O).…

    Percent

    Theory: This experiment requires us to use both the Gravimetric and Volumetric methods in order to acquire our percent composition. Since all gasses at Standard Temperature and Pressure contain one mole for every 22.4 L of gas, we can use stoichiometry to figure out how many moles of reactant we began with. Considering the room is at constant temperature change, the volume of the gas varies. Thus we convert the volume of gas used to STP conditions.…
