#### Experiment Description
Hydrogen gas is produced when magnesium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid. In a laboratory setting, a student collects 0.002581 g of hydrogen gas over water in a eudiometer at 23°C. The atmospheric pressure during the experiment is 794 mmHg.

#### Problem Statement
*Calculate the volume of dry hydrogen gas collected.*

To find the volume of the dry gas, use the water vapor pressure at the experiment temperature (23°C), which is 21.1 mmHg, and apply the formula for correcting for the partial pressure of water in the total pressure measurement.

**Volume of dry gas =** [Fill in calculation] **mL**
