Properties of Gases
Purpose:
The purpose of this experiment was to test and observe the physical and chemical properties of gases, and to use these properties to identify these gases when they are encountered.

Procedure:

Create a data table similar to that in the lab assistant to record your observations.

Gather the following lab equipment: Goggles, test tubes, 24 well plate, Gas assembly with copper and plastic tubing and a #00 stopper, short stem pipet, rubber stopper #00 with one hole and a pipet tip with plastic gas delivery tube, 2 small tables of AlkaSeltzer, 4mL Bromothymol blue .04%, 20 mL hydrochloric acid, 4-6 pieces of manganese metal, 4-6 pieces of mossy zinc, and 3 pipet bulbs.

Gather the following items: Matches, toothpicks, pie tin, white vinegar, 3% hydrogen peroxide, measuring spoons, drinking straw, tissue paper, and baking soda.

Read all instructions carefully before beginning your experiment.

1. Hydrogen a. Take a small piece of Mossy Zinc from the experiment bag and place it into a test tube containing diluted HCl. b. Take the rubber stopper with the pipet hole and gas tubing in the top and cap the test tube tightly. Take some tissue paper, a couple mm thick, and use it to help level your test tube in the well plate. Watch what happens. c. Fill one of the wide-neck pipe bulbs with water to the top. Hold it next to the test tube containing the Zn, and quickly invert it over the top of the gas delivery tube. d. The water might overflow when the gas displaces it, so place the well plate inside of the pie tin. e. When the water in the pipet bulb has been completely displaced by the hydrogen gas, remove the pipet, being sure to keep it inverted, and place your thumb over the opening to keep any from escaping. f. Light a match, and while holding the hydrogen pipet bulb horizontal and about 1cm from the flame, gently squeeze a small amount of gas towards the flame and watch the reaction. g. Record

    Next, we used a cork whose head was larger than the opening of the test tube to block off the opening (without changing the pressure inside of the tube), so that we could transport the remaining water to a graduated cylinder. When doing this, it was very important that the water level inside of the tube was equal to that of the surrounding water in the bucket, because that ensured that since the water pressure in the tube was the same as that of the surrounding water, the pressure of the gas would be the same as that of the surrounding air. Thus, we recorded the gas pressure to be the same as the pressure in the room, which was calculated to be 763.0 mmHg.…

    The purpose of this experiment is to conduct different experiments that will illustrate the different gas laws. We will be given a list of equipment need to perform the experiment as well as general rules to help us do the experiment. We will investigate three properties of gases pressure, temperature, and volume. By doing this experiment we will be able to define the gas laws. According to Boyles, it states that a fixed amount of ideal gas that is kept at a fixed temperature, that the pressure and volume are inversely proportional, if the temperature stays unchanged. According to Charless Law, if the pressure of a gas is held constant, as the gas is heated, its volume will increase and that cooling the gas will cause the volume to decrease. Charles law describes that of the Gay- Lussacs law, who had actually referenced unpublished work of Charles. The law states that at a constant pressure, the volume of the given mass of the ideal gas will increase/ decrease, the same ways as the temperature will increase/ decrease. An easier way to interpret this is that at a constant pressure, volume and temperature are directly proportional. Materials Lab quest Vernier gas pressure sensor Temperature probe 20 mL gas syringe 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask 3 600mL beakers hot plate Dry ice rubber stopper with 2-way valve Procedure and observations (Part 1) The first thing we did in this experiment was measure pressure and volume. To do this we used the lab quest and syringe. You attach the syringe to the valve of the gas pressure sensor. We pick a volume and when reading the volume on the syringe make sure you read from the inside black ring on the piston of the syringe. Make sure to connect the gas pressure sensor to the Lab Quest and choose new from the file menu. Then you will set up the data collection, first change the collection mode to events with entry, then enter volume and units (mL) and select ok. When collecting the data allow for the pressure to fluctuate and when it is…

    Before I began the experiment I gathered all my supplies from the given list in the lab manual. From there I began the actual experiment and diluted the HCL placed in a test tube and then placed the ZN in the tube as well. I placed the stopper and gas delivery plastic system on the test tube and arranged the tube in the well plate. I then took the test tube filled with water inverted it and placed on top of the gas delivery system, I had the well plate in a large bowl in case of flow over. I then removed and placed my thumb over the opening so gas wouldn’t escape I lit a match and held it approx. 1 cm away and allowed a small drop from the pipet onto the flame to observe the reaction. From here I took my pipet bulb and marked it in 3 equal parts with a marker. I filled the pipet with water and set it into the gas generation tube. When it was about 2/3 full of gas I removed it and set it facing down into the well holder as per the directions. I then cleaned up the other test tube disposed of the acid and washed the test tube and rubber stopper with water thoroughly. I then began the oxygen portion of the experiment where I placed some Mn into a test tube. I added some hydrogen peroxide and filled to nearly the top. I placed the rubber stopper with gas delivery system and put into the well plate in a straight position. I filled the pipet with water and once again inverted it and placed in on top of the gas delivery system. I then watched as it became displaced with oxygen and removed it placed my thumb over it so it wouldn’t escape.…
