Equipment Setup • Today you will set up your equipment and run your experiment prior to the pre-lab lecture. • After you are finished, return to your seats. • Here’s how to proceed:
Equipment • Weigh out a Mg strip • Roll into a ball • Insert into alligator clip
Equipment Continued • Carefully add 10 mL of 6M HCl to the eudiometer tube. • Fill the tube carefully with distilled water. • Place the stopper in the tube and eliminate all air bubbles.
Equipment Continued • With your finger over the hole in the stopper, invert the tube and place in 100 mL dH2O. • Clamp the tube to a buret clamp. • The stopper should be 4 mm from the bottom. • Record the time.
Equipment Continued • Record the volume of H2 gas from your eudiometer tube after 1 hour. • Go ahead…
Purpose The molar volume of all gases at STP is 22.414 L/mol. In this experiment, we will be collecting H2 gas by displacement of water to determine the molar volume of H2 gas experimentally, i.e. confirm that it is 22.433 L/mol. Note the slight deviation from ideal behavior.
Discussion Physical properties of gases can be related through mathematical equations, known as laws: • For Single Gases - • Boyle’s Law: V = ; at constant T and n • Charles’ Law: V = bT; at constant P & n • Avogadro’s Law: V = an; at constant T and P • Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT • For Mixed Gases - • Dalton’s Law: PT= P1 + P2 + P3 …
Reaction The net ionic equation for this redox reaction is: 2H+(aq) + Mg(s) Mg2+(aq) + H2(g) reduced oxidized
Data • Accepted Molar Volume is 22.433 L/mol • Atmospheric Pressure can be obtained from the barometer • Vapor Pressure of Water in mmHg is obtained from Table 9.1 • Water Bath Temperature in degrees Celsius is obtained using the digital thermometer • The pressure difference in mm H2O is measured with a meter stick. • Mass of Magnesium is obtained from the balance
Data Continued • Partial Pressure of H2 gas in mmHg from Dalton’s law. • Volume of H2 gas is obtained from your Eudiometer tube. • Volume of H2 gas at STP is obtained from: Example: = =
Data Continued • Theoretical moles of H2 are obtained from: moles H2 = • Molar Volume of H2 gas is obtained from: molar VolH2 =
Safety Concerns • Reagents: • Hydrochloric Acid • Magnesium Metal • Eye Contact: • irreversible damage, severe burns, painful sensitization to light • Skin Contact: • Burns, rash, and ulceration • Ingestion: • digestive tract burns, circulatory system failure, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and death • Inhalation: • sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath, lung edema, burns, erosion of teeth, damaged mucosa, chest pain, fever, and leukocytosis
Waste • Acidic solutions / waste need to be disposed in the acid waste container in the fume hood.
