Molar Volume Of Hydrogen Gas

Decent Essays

The experiment performed showed how the molar volume of hydrogen gas was determined, by reacting a strip of magnesium metal with a leftover of hydrochloric acid, after pressure was equalized underwater, creating H2, or otherwise known as Hydrogen gas. The equation that was formed during the reaction included a single replacement reaction represented in the formula of: Mg(s) + 2HCL (aq) = MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g). The H2 was collected using a gas tube, also known as the eudiometer. The molar volume of H2, Hydrogen Gas, is determined by calculating the volume occupied by a sample containing a known number of moles of hydrogen is measured. Since the volume will be measured under laboratory conditions of temperature and pressure, the measured volume
