objective of the experiment was to verify the molar volume of a gas and gas constant.¹ The method in which was used to determine the volume of H2 gas at standard temperature and pressure and the gas constant was to measure a strip of magnesium and place it inside the gas buret which contained hydrochloric acid‚ blue dye and distilled water and allow the reaction to occur. Once the reaction was complete and there were no visible gas bubbles‚ the volume was obtained and recorded. This procedure was completed
