Explanation / Answer

Total volume of H2 collected = Burette reading of volume of H2 collected ( or, Total Burette reading of 50 mL - Volume of H2 in graduated portion of burette)

Sample 1   

Total volume of H2 collected = 17 mL

Sample -2

Total volume of H2 collected = 30.2 mL

Pressure difference in water levels =( Difference in water level x density of water ) / Density of mercury

= (Difference in water level x 1 gm/mL) / 13.5 gm/mL

Correction for difference in water levels = Barometric pressure - Pressure difference in water levels

Now for Sample - 1

Pressure difference in water levels = (174 x 1) /13.5 = 12.89 torr

Correction for difference in water levels = 763 - 12.89 = 750.11 torr

Now for Sample - 2

Pressure difference in water levels = (305 x 1) /13.5 = 22.59 torr

Correction for difference in water levels = 763 - 22.59 = 740.41 torr

Pressure of gas in burette = Correction for difference in water levels - vapour pressure of water

Sample-1

Pressure of gas in burette = 750.11 - 19.83 = 730.28 torr

Sample -2

Pressure of gas in burette = 740.41 - 19.83 = 720.58 torr

Pressure of dry hydrogen = Pressure of gas in burette - Pressure difference in water levels

Sample -1

Pressure of dry hydrogen = 730.28 - 12.89 = 717.39 torr   

Sample - 2

Pressure of dry hydrogen = 720.58 - 22.59 = 697.99 torr

For STP correction we need to apply Combined gas law which is,

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where P2 = 760 torr V2=? ,T2 = 273 K

Sample - 1

P1 = 717.39 torr

V1 = 17 mL

T1 = 297 K

V2 = (P1 X V1 X T2) / (T1 X P2) = ( 717.39 X 17 X 273) / ( 297 X 760) =14.75 mL

Sample - 2

P1 = 697.99 torr

V1 = 30.2 mL

T1 = 297 K

V2 = (P1 X V1 X T2) / (T1 X P2) = ( 697.99 X 30.2 X 273) / ( 297 X 760) = 25.49 mL

Moles of H2 collected (n) = PV / RT

Sample - 1

P in atm = P in torr / 760 = 717.39 / 760 = 0.94

V = 14.75 /1000 = 0.015 L

Moles of H2 collected (n) = (0.94 x 0.015) / (0.082 x 297) = 0.00058

Sample - 2

P in atm = P in torr / 760 = 697.99 / 760 = 0.92

V = 25.49/1000 = 0.0255 L

Moles of H2 collected (n) = (0.92 x 0.0255) / (0.082 x 297) = 0.00096

Mass of Mg in sample

Reaction is, Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) –> MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)

i.e. 1 mole of H2 is generated by the reaction of 1 mole of Mg

Mass of Mg = Molar mass of Mg X no of Moles

Sample 1

Moles of Mg = 0.00058

Mass of Mg in the sample = 24.31 x 0.00058 = 0.014 gm = 14 mg

Sample 2

Moles of Mg = 0.00096

Mass of Mg in the sample = 24.31 x 0.00096 = 0.0233 gm = 23.3 mg
