Question
Lab 7: Gas Law  
Pre-Lab Questions

3. Your cousin made a bad life choice and went to Dominican College instead of STAC. He is also taking General Chemistry Lab this semester. Instead of reacting Mg with HCl, he is supposed to react zinc, Zn with HCl and performed a similar experiment. He reacted a 0.063 g sample of zinc with excess 1 M HCl at 24 °C (both lab and water temperature). The reaction produced a gas that expanded to a volume of 25.0 mL. The atmospheric pressure was 760 mmHg on the day he performed the experiment.

a. Write the balanced equation for this reaction.

b. What is the pressure (in atm) of the H₂ gas that was produced? Remember to take into account the vapor pressure of water.

c. What is the temperature in Kelvin?

d. How many moles of H₂ should you produce with this amount of starting material?

e. Using the P, V, T, and n listed above, solve for your experimentally determined value of the Ideal Gas Constant, R.
