A student determined the identity of an unknown metal he found in the lab by performing the ideal gas experiment. He used 0.0521 g of the metal and excess amount of 6 M HCI. The metal is known to react with HCI in the following manner: M(s) + 4 HCl(aq) MCI4(aq) + 2H2(aq) The experiment was conducted in a room with a temperature of 29.0°C and normal atmospheric pressure (1 atm). At this temperature, the vapor pressure of water is 30.0 mmHg. When the reaction had ceased, the height of the water column was measured to be 6.30 cm below the external water level, and the volume occupied by the gas was 29.3 mL. А. Calculate the pressure of trapped air (in mmHg). 183 x mmHg What is the pressure of H2 (in atm) inside the eudiometer? 0.961 atm What is the number of millimoles of the metal used in the reaction? 32 x mmol D. What is the identity (chemical symbol) of the metal? Assume that the metal used was 100% pure. H. B. C.
Ideal and Real Gases
Ideal gases obey conditions of the general gas laws under all states of pressure and temperature. Ideal gases are also named perfect gases. The attributes of ideal gases are as follows,
Gas Laws
Gas laws describe the ways in which volume, temperature, pressure, and other conditions correlate when matter is in a gaseous state. The very first observations about the physical properties of gases was made by Robert Boyle in 1662. Later discoveries were made by Charles, Gay-Lussac, Avogadro, and others. Eventually, these observations were combined to produce the ideal gas law.
Gaseous State
It is well known that matter exists in different forms in our surroundings. There are five known states of matter, such as solids, gases, liquids, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate. The last two are known newly in the recent days. Thus, the detailed forms of matter studied are solids, gases and liquids. The best example of a substance that is present in different states is water. It is solid ice, gaseous vapor or steam and liquid water depending on the temperature and pressure conditions. This is due to the difference in the intermolecular forces and distances. The occurrence of three different phases is due to the difference in the two major forces, the force which tends to tightly hold molecules i.e., forces of attraction and the disruptive forces obtained from the thermal energy of molecules.
