A student weighs out 0. 0422 g of magnesium metal. The magnesium metal is reacted with excess hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. A sample of hydrogen gas is collected over water in a eudiometer at 32. 0°c. The volume of collected gas is 43. 9 ml and the atmospheric pressure is 832 mmhg. Using the experimentally collected data, calculate r and the percent error.
The value of r is 0.0868 and the error percentage is 5.78%.
The student weights 0.0422 grams of magnesium; thus, we may deduce that the magnesium he used is the mass of the magnesium over the additional mass, which is 0.024422.
That is roughly equal to 0.001758.
It also asserts that too much hydrochloric acid can react with magnesium, releasing hydrogen gas as a result.
A sample of hydrogen gas is collected over water in a meter at a volume of 43.9 cc and a maximum pressure of 22 cc.
