Molar Volume of a Gas Objective: The objective is to determine the volume‚ of one mole of hydrogen gas at STP using experimental data‚ known mathematical relationships‚ and a balanced chemical equation. Theory: The goal of this lab is to find the volume of one mole of hydrogen at STP. The experimenters will be working with hydrochloric acid and magnesium to find the objective. The acid in this lab will react to the magnesium and cause the water in the eudiometer to rise because of the reaction
