Community College of Philadelphia Department of Chemistry Lab Report Experiment 8 – Molar Mass of Magnesium Name: Gabrielle Householder Submitted Date: 04/03/2024 Lab Partners Thays Laboratory Instructor: Michael Gregor Lecture Instructor: Edogri Experiment Nbr.: 8 Experiment Title: Ideal gas law Estimation of molar mass of magnesium Purpose: to perform a oxidation- reeducation reaction, redox, involving the evolution of a gas. oxidation-reduction refers to chemical reactions in which there is a transfer of electrons. the loss of electrons is known as oxidation and the gain of electrons is reduction. To use stoichiometry it is the study of the mole relationship between elements and compounds in chemical reaction To use ideal gas law PV=nRT Error Analysis & Conclusion: My Findings reveals discrepancies between the experimental molar mass of magnesium (18.72g/mol) and the accepted value (24.67g/mol). Potential sources of error include inaccuracies in measurement devices, assumptions of ideal gas behavior, procedural errors, and uncertainties in handling equipment. Despite these discrepancies, the analysis provides valuable insights for refining experimental techniques and enhancing accuracy in future investigations. Further validation and exploration of factors influencing gas behavior are recommended to improve the reliability of molar mass determinations.
