Convert the barometric pressure from inHg to mmHg. (1 in = 25.4 mm)
Use Dalton's Law to calculate pressure of the butane alone.
Using the Ideal Gas Law, calculate the moles of butane for each trial using the ideal gas
law.
Calculate the mass of butane collected for each trial.
Calculate the molar mass of butane gas for each trial.
1 molar = mass
mass
Molar Mass= Mass / # of moles
VT
Calculate the average molar mass of butane.
Determine the formula of butane and the accepted molar mass of butane. Calculate the n
percent error in your experimentally determined molar mass.
PV=nR
If some bubbles of butane escape and are not collected in the eudiometer, how will the
experimentally determined molar mass be affected? You would think the malar
If an air bubble is left in the eudiometer before the collected, how will the
experimentally determined molar mass be affected?
If a student forgets to adjust the total pressure to calculate the pressure of just the butane
how will the experimentally determined molar mass be affected?
