Question

Can someone help me with these calculations? I am so lost.

The Barometer reading is 756.158 torr for both trials

Trial 1 Data Mass of flask A, contents, stopper, and glass tube before reaction Mass of flask A, contents, stopper, and glass tube after reaction Temperature of the gas in flask A Temperature of the gas in flask D mL Volume of oxygen collected Barometer reading (temperature of barometer oC) Aqueous vapor pressure at temperature of gas (average the two temperatures) a torn Trial 2 torr

Explanation / Answer

Data

Calculations (We will use trial 1 for sample calculations)

Trial 1

Trial 2

Mass of oxygen

(Mass of flask A, contents, stopper and glass tube before reaction) – (Mass of flask A, contents, stopper and glass tube after reaction) = (153.98 g) – (153.59 g) = 0.39 g

0.39 g

0.45 g

Temperature, absolute

(Temperature in C) + (273 K)

We are asked to average the two temperatures, but which two? Please upload the experiment.

I will use the temperature of flask A, since that is where our oxygen gas is

T = (29 + 273) K = 302 K

302 K

304 K

Corrected barometric pressure

No information is provided about the barometric correction; we are only given the barometric pressure as 756.158 torr

756.158 torr

756.158 torr

Pressure of oxygen alone in flask A

(Barometric pressure) – (aqueous vapor pressure at temperature of gas) = (756.158 torr) – (29.15 torr) = 727.008 torr

727.008 torr

730.158 torr

Volume of oxygen at standard conditions

Use the relation

P1*V1/T1 = P2*V2/T2

where P1 = normal barometric pressure = 760 torr; V1 = volume of gas at standard conditions; T1 = standard temperature = 298 K;

P2 = 727.008 torr; V2 = 27 mL and T2 = 302 K.

Thus,

V1 = P2*V2*T1/(P1*T2)

Plug in values

V1 = (727.008 torr)*(27 mL)*(298 K)/(760 torr).(302 K) = 25.48 mL

25.48 mL

24.11 mL

Moles of dioxygen, O2

Use the relation

n = P*V/RT

where P = 760 torr = 1 atm; V = 25.48 mL = (25.48 mL)*(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.02548 L; T = 298 K and R = 0.082 L-atm/mol.K

===> n = (1 atm)*(0.02548 L)/(0.082 L-atm/mol.K).(298 K) = 0.00104 mole

0.00104 mole

0.000987 mole

Molar volume of O2 at standard conditions

(Volume of oxygen gas under standard conditions in L)/(moles of dioxygen) = (0.02548 L)/(0.00104 mole) = 24.5 L/mol

24.50 L/mol at STP

24.43 L/mol at STP
