Background:
Many metals react with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and metal ions.
In this Lab you will use Magnesium:
Mg(s) + 2 H+(aq) → H2(g) + Mg2+(aq)
The moles of hydrogen gas produced can be determined using the Ideal Gas equation,
PV = nRT.
Useful Information
Pressure of water vapor at 18.8 °C = 16.3 torr
P(gases in buret) = P(hydrogen gas) + P(water vapor)
PV= nRT where P is in atm, V is in L, and T is in K
TK = Tºc + 273
l.0 atm = 760 tor
R = 0.082 L atm /K mol
