A student experimentally determines the gas law constant, R, by reacting a small piece of magnesium
with excess hydrochloric acid and then collecting the hydrogen gas over water in a eudiometer. Based

(b) For the statements below, identify the possible source(s) of error for this student's trial.
The student notices a large air bubble in the eudiometer after collecting the hydrogen gas, but
does not dislodge it.
The student does not clean the zinc metal with sand paper.
The student does not equilibrate the water levels within the eudiometer and the beaker at the
end of the reaction. The water level in the eudiometer is 1-inch above the water level in the
beaker.
The student uses the barometric pressure for the lab to calculate R.
A 6.53 g sample of mixture of magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate is treated with excess hydrochloric acid. The resulting reaction produces 1.71 L of carbon dioxide gas @28.0 degrees C and 735 torr pressure.
A metal cylinder with a capacity of 6.0 L is filled with compressed propane (C3H8). The pressure and temperature of the cylinder when it was initially filled were 120 atm and 75 ◦C, respectively. The molar mass of carbon is 12 g·mol−1 and the molar mass of hydrogen is 1 g·mol−1.
a) How many moles of propane are in the cylinder?
b) What is the mass of the propane inside the cylinder?

When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy?
