the water for 5-8 minutes. Take the temperature of the water at the end of the time boiling. Shut off the gas and allow the water to stop boiling. After boiling has ceased, remove the flask from the beaker. Dry off the flask and let it sit on the bench. Note as the flask cools, the gas should begin to condense into liquid. Once the flask is at room temperature, take the mass. Once the flask has been weighed, place any liquid inside in the respective waste container. To find the volume of the flask, fill it with tap water to the very top. Once it has been filled, empty it into a 250 ml graduated cylinder and record the volume from the cylinder. Make sure to record the barometric pressure written on the board so that you are able to complete your calculations. Now that you have completed the process for the first trial, repeat the process for a second trial. Once you have finished your second trial, return the copper wire and aluminum foil to the stock counter. Waste: All unknown liquid must be placed in the waste container in fume hood 1. Work-up: Determine the number of moles and molar mass of unknown gas for both trials. Determine the average molar mass. Post-Lab Questions: 1. Why does a soda bottle form fizz after you shake it or make a hissing sound (like letting air out of a tire) when you first open it? Hint: explain in terms of gases. wan 2. Have you ever wondered how much pressure a soda bottle can withstand? (depending on the bottle, it is approximately 30 atm. That is 30 times the pressure of the atmosphere on any given day outside!). If you place 15 grams of Zinc solid in a 2.0 L soda bottle with 100 mL of 5 M hydrochloric acid, would the soda bottle be able to withstand the pressure (the gas formed is hydrogen)? The temperature of the collected gas is 25°C. Write and balance the chemical reaction that would take place (you will need this information to help you solve the problem).
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
