Determining the Molar Mass of a Gas with Dalton’s Law and Archimedes’ Principle
Introduction
Archimedes’ principle describes the idea of buoyancy. The principle states that an upward force acts on an object when submerged in a gas or liquid.[1] When the object is at rest, this force, called the buoyant force, is equal and opposite to the force acting downwards on the object.[1] The buoyant force is caused by the pressure of the gas or liquid the object is in and increases the further down the object is in the fluid, as described by Boyle’s Law. This can be seen in the image below where a five kilogram weight has a buoyant force of 2 kilograms acting upon it. This causes the weight to measured …show more content…

For this reason, three different molar masses were calculated. This ensures that calculations were accurate for each trial. The first trial saw a large percent error of 19%. This error was caused because a few bubbles of butane gas escaped the graduated cylinder, decreasing the volume of butane gas in the cylinder. The percent error associated with the second and third trial was much better than that of the first trial. At a value of 7.1% and 3.2% respectively, the error that occurred during the first trial did not persist into the rest of the trials. However, excess water on the lighter attributed to the error across all three trials. The excess water on the lighter gave it a larger mass when measured using the triple beam balance. Due to this, the mass of butane collected was slightly inaccurate, causing errors in the calculation of the molar mass of …show more content…

The theoretical molar mass of butane was found by adding the molar mass of each element that makes up butane. This means that the molar mass of carbon was multiplied by four and added to the molar mass of hydrogen multiplied by ten, yielding a molar mass of 58.124g/mol. The calculated molar mass of butane was found by using the equation, M = (DRT)/P, where the density was found by dividing the mass of butane collected by the volume of butane in the graduated cylinder in liters and the pressure was the partial pressure in kilopascals of butane. After finding these two values, they were subtracted, divided by the theoretical molar mass of butane, and finally multiplied by

Next, we determined the mass of the penny by placing it on a balance. The mass of the penny was 2.47 grams. Afterwards, we placed the penny in a beaker filled with 20 mL of 6 M HCl. In the end we put the beaker in the fume hood and allowed it to sit overnight. During day two of the penny lab, we removed the penny skin from the beaker using tweezers.

To calculate the experimental mass the substance of each bag and the bag its self was measured using a balance. After gathering the mass subtract the mass of the empty bag to the mass of the unknown substance, in order to just have the mass of the substance. Afterward the mass of the unknown substance was divided by the number of moles recorded on the bag of the substance. The measurements are displayed on the table

Conclusion: Compare Trial 1 and Trial 2. The Trial 1 change in mass are 12.5g, however Trial 2 changes in mass is 1.2g. The Trial 1 change in mass is more than Trial 2. And I think the Low of Conservation of Mass violated in the Trial 1 is can be exist. Because the Trial 1 actually the soda with vinegar have Chemical reactions occur and chemical

As seen in table 1, the theoretical yield was .712 g of C_17 H_19 NO_3. The % yield of this experiment was 7.51 % of C_17 H_19 NO_3. . This low yield can be explained from a poor recrystallization technique combined with potential contamination. Throughout the experiment, the mixture changed color from green, orange, to yellowish lime, and eventually clear.

In this week’s lab we had to determine the density of a quarter, penny, and dime. My question was “How does is each coin?” Density is the amount of mass in an object. To find the density of each coin in this lab, we used a triple beam balance to find each coin’s mass and a graduated cylinder to find their volumes. With all this information, I can now form a hypothesis.

On our paper we predicted the amount of pennies that could fit in the boat before it sank. We tested the boat in the water and added pennies one by one. We then calculated the mass of pennies that fit in the boat and the density of it. The purpose of this Lab was to make a boat that holds as many pennies as possible and understand how to calculate

The chapter “Nickel and Dimed” discuss how unskilled workers are living in the modern society of America. They live by hope and want to live properly like others. However, it may be a dream for them because they already know their wages are always very low.

In addition, for calculating the mass of the pennies and the unknown substance, zero the balance and place it in the weigh boat to receive the data. Lastly, to calculate the density of the substances, use the formula D=MV, in which dividing the mass by the volume allows to do so. In order to be certain of the data that is collected, running multiple trials could help be accurate. A method to get an average value of the density can be expressed by the formula D1+D22. This formula basically allows one to add the data of all the trials and divide it by the number of trials that was performed.

To determine the rate of reaction there are many method to be used for example, measuring the mass after the product has been added and measuring the difference in mass on the duration of a digital scale. Another method, which will be used in this experiment is using a gas syringe to measure the volume of the gas which has been produced. The cylinder inside, will be pushed out to show a quantitative presentation of the volume produced by the reaction. Hypothesis

Molar mass is the mass (in grams) of one mole of a substance. Using the atomic mass of an element and multiplying it by the conversion factor grams per mole (g/mol), you can calculate the molar mass of that element. First, find the chemical formula for the compound. Then, calculate the relative atomic mass of each element in the compound. Next, calculate the molar mass of each element in the compound.

Procedure A. Preparation of NaOH solution The molarity of a solution is the ratio of the number of solutes dissolved in a liter of solution. To figure out the needed mass (in grams) of NaOH pellets to be dissolved in a 0.25 L of water, remember that a mole is equivalent to the quotient of mass over the molar mass of the substance. This was used to rearrange the base formula and to derive the mathematical equation of mass in terms of molarity. mass (g) =

Introduction: Internal combustion engines play a dominant role in transportation and energy production. Even a slight improvement will translate into considerable reductions in pollutant emissions and impact on the environment. The two major types of internal combustion engines are the Otto and the Diesel engine. The former relies on an ignition source to start combustion, the latter works in auto ignition mode.

Bernoulli’s theorem is a special application of the laws of motion and energy. The principle equation describes the pressure measured at any point in a fluid, which can be a gas or a liquid, to the density and the velocity of the specified flow. The theorem can be explained by the means of imagining a particle in a cylindrical pipe. If the pressure on both sides of the particle in the pipe is equal, the particle will be stationary and in equilibrium.
