Question

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     

               

 

Data

 

Volume of water added to the 50 mL buret that has uncalibrated bottom

1.0     mL 

  

 

 

Buret reading after addition of 1.00 mL water

 49.50 mL

Mass of metal sample 

0.038 g

Temperature of water (and thus temperature of gases). 

18.8 °C

Buret reading of gases 

36.9 mL

Barometric pressure 

760 torr

 

QUESTION

 

  1. What is the partial pressure of water vapor at 18.8 °C? (1 decimal place)

 

  1. What is the partial pressure of hydrogen gas in torr? ( 3 sig figs)

 

  1. What is the partial pressure of hydrogen gas produced, in atm?(3 decimal places)
