d. Volume of hydrogen in liters?
e. Temperature in Kelvin?
f. Moles of hydrogen collected?
g. Moles of hydrochloric acid reacted?
h. Molarity of hydrochloric acid?
i. If the bottle claimed that the molarity was 0.510 M, what is the percent error?
The given chemical reaction is
Mg + 2 HCl -------> MgCl2 + H2
As per the balanced stoichiometric equation,
1 mole Mg = 2 moles HCl = 1 mole H2
a) The barometric pressure at 22⁰C is given as 29.94 in Hg
The barometric pressure in atmospheres is Pbar = (29.94 in Hg)(25.4 mm/1 in)*(1 atm/760 mm Hg) = 1.0006 atm (since 1 in = 25.4 mm and 1 atm = 760 mm Hg) (ans).
b) The vapor pressure of water at 22⁰C can be easily obtained from tabulated values. Such tables are easily available in chemical databases. The value of the vapor pressure of water is PH2O = 19.8 torr = 19.8 mm Hg (since 1 torr = 1 mm Hg) = (19.8 mm Hg)*(1 atm/760 mm Hg) = 0.0260 atm (ans).
c) The pressure due to dry hydrogen gas is given by PH2 = Pbar – PH2O = (1.0006 – 0.0260) atm = 0.9746 atm (ans).
d) The volume of hydrogen gas collected is 57.5 mL; the volume of hydrogen gas collected in liters is V = (57.5 mL)*(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.0575 L (ans).
e) The temperature of hydrogen gas collected is 22⁰C; the temperature in the Kelvin scale is T = (273 + 22) K = 295 K (ans).
f) We shall use the ideal gas law to compute the moles of hydrogen collected. The ideal gas law is
P*V = n*R*T where n = number of moles and R = 0.082 L-atm/mol.K
(0.9746 atm)*(0.0575 L) = n*(0.082 L-atm/mol.K)*(295 K)
===> n = 2.3167*10-3 mole ≈ 2.317*10-3 mole
The moles of hydrogen gas evolved = 2.317*10-3 mole (ans).
g) Moles of hydrochloric acid reacted = (moles of H2)*(2 moles HCl/1 mole H2) = (2.317*10-3 mole H2)*(2 moles HCl/1 mole H2) = 4.634*10-3 mole HCl (ans).
h) Molarity of HCl = (moles of HCl)/(volume of HCl in L) = (4.634*10-3 mole)/[(10 mL)*(1 L/1000 mL)] = 0.4634 mol/L = 0.4634 M (ans).
i) The claimed molarity is 0.510 M whereas the actual molarity obtained is 0.4634 M. The percent error in molarity is
Percent error = [(0.510 – 0.4634)M/(0.510 M)]*100 = 2.3766% ≈ 2.377% (ans).
