Abstract:
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
The aim of this lab was to determine the volume of one mole of hydrogen gas at STP (standard temperature and pressure). In the experiment, a magnesium ribbon was placed at the bottom of an eudiometer tube and allowed to react with 2M hydrochloric acid. The volume of hydrochloric displacement was measured and calculations determined the molar volume of hydrogen gas produced inside the eudiometer tube. After performing and taking the average data of two trials, it was concluded that the calculated value of one mole of hydrogen gas at STP was about 22.35 L/mol. Rounding up, it can be concluded that one mole equals 22.4 L/mol, which is the accepted value of the volume one mole of an ideal gas takes up. However, there was a
