Lab Questions
1.
What are the assumptions you used when calculating the amount of NaHCO
3
and vinegar needed? I assumed that the more NaHCO3 and vinegar was used the faster the reaction.
2.
When you built the model air bag, which can expand to a maximum volume of 1.2 L, you tried different amounts of sodium bicarbonate and vinegar. What did you learn from this trials?
3.
Based upon the observed performance of the air bag models, are these reactants a good substitute for sodium azide? (the rate of inflation with sodium azide after a triggering impact is 40 milliseconds (0.04 s). Explain your reasoning. No they would not serve as a good substitute, as they are inefficient and not as effective. They reaction time was slow in some instances and did not provide enough filling of the bag
4.
What are possible sources of experimental error? Some errors could include measuring the amount needed for each experiment was wrong. Also, not calculating the reactions properly and premature reactions due to user error
Experimental Conclusions
The experiment was exciting specially to watch the bags get filled up by the air due to the chemical reaction. Personal Reflection It was a cook experiment but there were instances where I
thought the bag was going to inflate so much that the bag
was going to pop. © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company

Kiki, Karl’s twin sister, did a lab just like our butane lab. But she did not have butane as her gas. Use the Ideal Gas law to help Kiki determine the molecular mass of the gas from the following data. A sample of a gas is collected by water displacement.
➢ The mass of the gas cylinder before releasing the gas is 25.00g. ➢ The mass of the gas cylinder after releasing the gas is 21.08g.
➢ The volume of the gas is 3.35 L.
➢ The barometric pressure is 740.2mmHg.
➢ The room temperature is 28.0ºC and

Part 1: Gas Laws
The physical properties of gases can be explained using four variables; volume (V), pressure
(P), temperature (T), and amount in number of moles (n).
Four simple laws are used to explain the behavior of gaseous species. Complete the table

Avogadro's Law
This law explains why
bread and other baked
goods rise. Yeast or
other leavening agents
cause the production
of carbon dioxide gas
and ethanol. The
carbon dioxide forms
bubbles which appear
as holes in the dough.
As the yeast continues
the leavening process,
the number of particles
of carbon dioxide
increases, hence
causing an increase in
the number, or volume,
of bubbles and in the
size of the dough.
How about inflating a
basketball?
