### Experiment Data and Calculations

#### Overview:
This experiment involves reacting magnesium metal with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. The amount of hydrogen gas collected is then used to calculate the gas constant \( R \) and assess the percentage error compared to the ideal gas constant from the literature.

#### Data Collected:
- **Mass of Magnesium Metal**: 0.0422 g
- **Volume of Collected Gas**: 43.9 mL
- **Atmospheric Pressure**: 832 mmHg
- **Temperature During Collection**: 32.0°C

#### Water Vapor Pressure Table:
This table provides the water vapor pressure at various temperatures, which is essential for correcting the pressure of the collected gas.

| Temperature (°C) | Water Vapor Pressure (mmHg) |
|------------------|------------------------------|
| 26               | 25.2                         |
| 28               | 28.3                         |
| 30               | 31.8                         |
| 32               | 35.7                         |
| 34               | 39.9                         |
| 36               | 44.6                         |

#### Calculations:
- **Gas Constant (R):** Calculating this using the formula derived from the ideal gas law.
  
  \[
  R = \frac{\text{L} \cdot \text{atm}}{\text{mol} \cdot \text{K}}
  \]

- **Percent Error:** The deviation of the experimentally determined \( R \) from the literature value.

  \[
  \text{Percent error} = 5.8\%
  \]

#### Literature Value:
The ideal gas constant from literature is provided as:
- **\( R = 0.08206 \frac{\text{L} \cdot \text{atm}}{\text{mol} \cdot \text{K}} \)**

This experiment is critical for understanding how real-life conditions affect the measurement of gas constants and assessing experimental accuracy through the percent error calculation.
