Molar Volume Lab Report
Introduction
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). …show more content…
Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT (101.3 kPa)(V) = (1 mol)(8.314 L.kPa/mol.k)(273 K) V = 22.4 L

    6.03 Calorimetry

    In order to describe the molar volume of pure water the equation V_3=M_3⁄ρ_(3 ) is used, whereas those of sodium nitrate and the polyether compound poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) are shown by V_1=V_(∅_1)^∞and V_1= V_(∅_2)^∞. In these two equations, V_(∅_1)^∞ and V_(∅_2)^∞ which are the apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution of sodium nitrate and poly(ethylene glycol), must be computed on the basis of data on apparent molal volume (V_∅). The following equation shows the relation of the V_∅ of a binary solution with density, Equation 1…

    Figure 1 shows the average amount of absorbance for each tube, containing different levels of pH. Tube 2 had an acidic pH level, Tube 3 had a neutral pH level, and Tube 4 had a basic pH level. It is indicated that the absorbance rates were the highest for the neutral pH level, with a final absorbance rate of 0.166. This was followed by a basic pH (0.106). The acidic pH level had the least amount of absorbance with a final absorbance rate of 0.069. This reinforces the idea that the ALP enzyme worked best under conditions with a neutral pH and worked the least in an acidic pH environment.…

    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.…

    A series of measurements are made in order to determine the molar mass of an unknown gas. First, a large flask is evacuated and found to weigh 134.567 g. it is then filled with the gas to a pressure of 735 torr and 31°C and reweighed; its mass is now 137.456 g. Finally, the flask was filled with water at 31.0 °C and found to weigh 1067.9 g. (The density of water at this temperature is 0.977 g/mL.) Assuming that the ideal gas equation applies, calculate the molar mass of the unknown…

    Absolute Concentration Lab Report

    There were six sucrose solutions: 0.0 M (distilled water), 0.2 M, 0.4 M, 0.6 M, 0.8 M, and 1.0 M. The dependent variable was the mass of the cores of apple tissue. Changes in the dependent variable were measured by weighing the mass of each set of apple cores before and after its submerging in sucrose solution. The initial mass was then subtracted from the final mass and divided by the initial mass to calculate the percent change of each set. Changes in the dependent variable were analyzed in the form of percent change of mass rather than change in mass in grams because each set of apple cylinders had a different initial weight, so calculating percent change helped standardize the data. The control of the experiment was the distilled water because it has a molarity of 0.0 M, meaning that no sucrose is added to it. Several variables were held constant. It was attempted to keep the size of each core of apple tissue constant. Other constants include the ruler and scale used to measure the apple cores, as well as the knife used to cut the…

    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.…
