Title and number: 1-31 Molecular Mass of a gas Lab report number 2 Purpose: The purpose for doing this lab is to learn how to measure gas by using volume and water. Also to proved whether Avogadro hypothesis is true or not by using these characteristics: mass, volume, pressure and temperature that will allow you to calculate the molecular mass of any gas. Principle: The new lab technique that we used is the displacement of water. We did this by putting water in a tank, placing the graduated cylinder in the water and get the opening end of the graduated cylinder in the water while letting the water to enter the cylinder without getting any bubbles in it, because having bubbles in the water would increase the error percentage of our results. Then, stand the cylinder upside down after measuring the lighters and then, placing the lighter near the cylinder while releasing butane into the cylinder. When the butane is released the amount of water is decrease this show the amount of butane that is in the cylinder. Data Table and Calculation 1: Trial 1 Trial 2 Mass of lighter before experiment (grams) 22.03 grams 21.84 grams Mass of lighter after experiment (grams) 21.77 grams 21.62 grams Volume of butane release (mL) 100.3 mL 100.0mL Temperature of water (°C) 23.0 °C 24.5°C Room temperature (°C) 21.1°C 21.1°C Atmospheric pressure (torr) 764 torr 764 torr Molecular mass of Carbon (grams) 12.011grams 12.011grams Molecular mass of Hydrogen (grams) 1.0079 grams 1.0079 grams Butane Formula C4H10 C4H10 Average mass of lighter before experiment (grams) 21.94 grams 21.94 grams Average mass of lighter after experiment (grams) 21.70 grams 21.70 grams Average temperature of water (°C) 24.0 °C 24.0°C Water pressure at 24.0°C 22.38 torr 22.38 torr Average of the volume of butane 100.15 °C 100.15
