If During An Air Bubble Leaked Into The Eudiometer

Decent Essays
7. If during the experiment an air bubble leaked into the eudiometer tube while it was being inverted in the water bath than the measured volume of hydrogen gas would be off. Ultimately the measured volume of hydrogen gas would be too high because the gas being recorded would not only include hydrogen gas, but the air that leaked into the eudiometer as well. Because the volume of hydrogen gas would be too high the calculated molar volume of hydrogen would also be too high. This is because to find the calculated molar volume of hydrogen you divide the recorded volume of hydrogen gas by the theoretical number of moles of hydrogen. And because the theoretical number of moles doesn’t change that means the higher the hydrogen gas recorded the higher

    A graduated cylinder was used to measure 200mL of distilled water into an Erlenmeyer flask and then 40mL of 0.6 M NaOH was added to the distilled water in the flask. The flask was then plugged with a rubber stopper and shook in order to mix the solution. A buret was then washed, rinsed with distilled water, and then 5 mL of the NaOH diluted solution. After the cleansing of the buret, it was then filled up with the NaOH diluted solution. The dilution of the solution was calculated to find the molarity of the NaOH.…

    The main objective of this lab was to collect 〖Co〗_2 gases that were given off by the Alka-Seltzer tablets and to identify experimental masses. The volume of gas was 724 liters, or 723.86 cm and the experimental mass was .0894 grams. A balance scale was used before and after the reaction to record the change in overall mass. First, using the scale, the flask, balloon, and Alka-Setlzer tablets were measured, 259.4 ±.05 Grams were found. What created the “〖Co〗_2 gases to be trapped” were the crushed Alka-Seltzer tablets that went into the flask that contained water.…

    In order to safely dispose of a solution with a pH of 12, the solution needs to be diluted with an acid to neutralize the basic solution. The pH range should be between 5 to 8 to be ready for disposal. 2. A graduated cylinder, Erlenmeyer flask, and beaker were used to measure a 60-mL volume. Which of these devices seems to be the most accurate for measuring a 60-mL volume?…

    1. List the steps you would take if you were to break a beaker with a pH 9 solution. First, once a spill occurs, ensure everyone (especially the lab instructor/advisor) around the area or in the lab knows about the occurrence. Second, it would be best to make sure that you have not been contaminated with the chemical, meaning that you should take care of yourself by washing the affected areas.…

    Both the temperature (T) and the number of moles of gas (n) were held constant in Boyle’s experiment. Fill in the blanks to summarize the relationship among the gas properties in Boyle’s experiment: For a fixed _________ of gas at constant ________, the ________ of a gas increases as the __________ of its container decreases. For a fixed number of moles (n) of gas at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas increases as the volume of its container decreases. Pressure is defined in physics as force divided by area (P = force/area).…

    One major source of random error is an error of parallax occurring during several measurements. The first scenario was when the beakers were filled 100ml of distilled water. It likely that at least several beakers may have been filled slightly above or below the 100ml marker, and if so would have slightly altered the measurement of water. This error could be minimised through the use of measuring cylinders and pipettes in order to accurately measure out 100ml, although it would likely only improve the accuracy…

The first day this process was repeated three times each with 2-proponal, ethanol, and methanol. On the second day of the experiment, the process was done three times with room temperature water in the 1.00 L beaker with 2-propanol, three times with water and ice in the 1.00 L beaker with 2-proponal, and three times with hot water in the 1.00 L beaker with…

    The actual yield was used to find the mass of the hydrogen gas. This data can be compared to the theoretical yield to determine how well the experiment was performed. Additionally, the theoretical yield was used to determine the percent yield. The higher the percent yield, the better the experiment was performed. However, the percent yield from the two trials were low due to the errors that occurred throughout the lab.…

    The problem of the experiment was to determine the volume of one mole of H_(2(g)) at STP. In a way, the problem is essential in understanding how one mole of an ideal gas at STP is always equivalent to 22.4 L. By determining if the volume of a mole of H_(2(g)) is 22.4 L, it supports Avogadro’s law that one mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 L at STP. At the same time, it indicates that a direct relationship exists between volume and the number of moles of gas as temperature and pressure stays constant. One real world application of the importance of this problem is demonstrated when a helium balloon is lighter than an identical balloon filled with air (http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/gases/faq/everyday-gas-laws.shtml).…

    Avogadro’s law states that equal volumes of gas, at the same pressure and temperature, have the same amount of molecules. This applies to the lab in that it allows for the verification of the molar volume of hydrogen at standard temperature and pressure once temperature, pressure, and volume are all accounted for. Dalton’s law of partial pressure is another theory that was explored in this lab. It states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. This law makes it possible for the partial pressure of the water vapor to be removed from the total pressure of the gases in the eudiometer tube to yield the partial pressure of hydrogen gas.…
