Prelab for Gas Law Constant SD
About how much water should be used to calibrate the eudiometer tube?
40 mL
How will the conversion factor "f" for eudiometer tube (ET) calibration be calculated?
Real volume from buret/Reading from ET
What is the mole ratio of magnesium to hydrogen gas in the reaction used in this experiment?
1:1
A eudiometer tube (ET) is found to have a conversion factor "f" of 0.81 mL/ET unit. The experimental procedure for this lab is followed and produces a reading on the ET tube of 40.40 mL. What is the actual volume of hydrogen gas in the ET (in Liters)? Report the answer to 4 significant figures.
0.81 x 40.40 x (1 L / 1000 mL) = 0.03272 L
How many moles of hydrogen gas are generated by 0.038 grams of magnesium? Report the answer to four significant figures. DO NOT USE EXPONENTS.
0.038 g Mg x ( 1 mol Mg / 24.31 g Mg ) x ( 1 mol H2 / 1 mol Mg ) = 0.001563 mol
