____________________ ____________________ Title: Determination of Molecular Weight of a Volatile Liquid By Vaporization: Dumas Method Background of the Study Problem In this experiment‚ an unknown liquid is in need to be identified and one of the key factors to identify it is to determine its molecular weight. In order to determine the molecular weight of a particular substance which in this experiment’s case is a volatile liquid‚ the need to convert the liquid into a gas arises. The relation among the pressure

Introduction In order to identify new materials‚ scientists use a variety of chemical and physical methods to determine molecular masses. One of these methods includes the Dumas method for determining the molecular weight of a volatile liquid. This method‚ which was proposed by John Dumas in 1826‚ makes use of a volatile liquid (vaporizes at a relatively low temperature) and allows this liquid to be heated in a water bath to a known temperature and escape from a flask through a tiny opening (Giunta

Determination of Molecular Mass via the Dumas Method Objectives: • To determine the molecular mass of an unknown volatile liquid using the Dumas method and the ideal gas law. Background: In the early 19th century‚ Jean-Baptiste Dumas‚ a distinguished French chemist‚ created a relatively simple method for determining the molecular mass of a volatile substance. In this experiment we will use a modified version of his technique to determine the molecular mass of an unknown volatile liquid. The density

Analysis of a Volatile Liquid Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to use various methods of analysis to determine the identity of an unknown volatile liquid. In the first part of the experiment‚ the molecular mass was found by using water to find the volume of a flask through calculations and this as well as the mass of the gas of the unknown liquid were put into the a manipulated version of the ideal gas equation to determine the molar mass of the liquid‚ which was 14.21g per
