Gas Variables 1

Gas VariablesHow are the variables that describe a gas related?

Why?Imagine buying a balloon bouquet at a party store. How will the helium gas in the bouquet behave if you carry it outside on a hot summer day? How will it behave if you carry it outside during a snowstorm? What happens if the balloons are made of latex, which can stretch? What happens if the balloons are made of Mylar®, which cannot stretch? What if you add just a small amount of gas to each balloon? What if you add a lot of gas? In this activity, you will explore four variables that quantify gases—pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and moles (n) of gas. These four variables can be related mathematically so that predictions about gas behavior can be made.

Model 1 – Gases in a Nonflexible ContainerExperiment A (Adding more gas)

External pressure = 1 atm External pressure = 1 atm External pressure = 1 atmInternal pressure = 1 atm Internal pressure = 2 atm Internal pressure = 3 atm

*Note: Volume in this model is recorded in units rather than liters because 4 molecules of gas at the conditions given would oc-cupy a very small space (~1 × 10–22 μL). The particles shown here are much larger compared to the space between them than actual gas particles.

5. Of the variables that were controlled in both Experiment A and Experiment B in Model 1, one requires a nonflexible container. Name this variable, and explain why a nonflexible container is necessary. In your answer, consider the external and internal pressure data given in Model 1.

Read This!Pressure is caused by molecules hitting the sides of a container or other objects. The pressure changes when the molecules change how often or how hard they hit. A nonflexible container is needed if the gas sample is going to have an internal pressure that is different from the external pressure. If a flexible con-tainer is used, the internal pressure and external pressure will always be the same because they are both pushing on the sides of the container equally. If either the internal or external pressure changes, the flex-ible container walls will adjust in size until the pressures are equal again.

Determination of the Molar Mass of Gases and Volatile Liquids

Introduction: The molar masses of compounds are used daily in the chemistry profession. The

molar mass is defined as the mass, in grams, of 1 mole of any element or compound. How is

molar mass determined and how is molar mass of an unknown found? In this experiment, the

molar masses of sample gases are determined directly and the molar masses of several volatile

liquids will be calculated based on the measurements of their vapor density.

Concepts: molar mass, ideal gas law, buoyancy

Background:

The ideal gas law relates the four measureable properties of a gas (P, V, n, T). In this experiment,

the ideal gas law will be used to determine the molar mass of gases and volatile liquids.

PV = nRT (Equation 1)

The number of moles (n) of any pure substance is equal to its mass divided by its molar mass.

n = mass/molar mass (Equation 2)

Substituting for n in Equation 1 and then rearranging produces the equation for the molar mass of

a gas.

molar mass (g/mol) = [mass (g) * RT (K)] / [P (atm) * V (L)] (Equation 3)

In part 1, the mass of several unknown gases (X) are measured and compared to the mass of the

same volume of oxygen. If two identical volumes of different gases are at the same temperature

(T) and pressure (P), then their mass ratio must be equal to their molar mass ratio (Equation 4).

[mass of X / mass of O2] = [molar mass of X / molar mass of O2] (Equation 4)

Rearranging:

molar mass of X = [mass of X / mass of O2] * molar mass of O2 (Equation 5)

When measuring the mass of a gas, the effect of buoyancy must be taking into account. Air like

water exerts a positive or upward buoyant force on all objects. This force is compensated for in

balances when massing liquids and solids when massing gases however, this force is not

compensated for and is real. The apparent mass of a gas is less than the true mass of the gas.

True mass of gas = apparent mass of gas + mass of air displaced (Equation 6)

In part 1, the mass of each gas will be measured in a 60-ml gas syringe that has been evacuated

of air and set to a fixed volume. The syringe is first massed with no gas in the fixed volume, then

with a sample gas in the fixed volume. The effect of buoyancy is thus eliminated and the true

mass of each gas, including air, can be determined directly.

In part 2, the molar masses of several volatile liquids with boiling points well below the boiling

point of water are determined. A small sample of the liquid is placed in a tared 15-ml plastic

pipet and the pipet is then heated in boiling water to vaporize the liquid. The air and excess vapor

escape, leaving the pipet filled only with the volatile liquid vapor at atmospheric pressure and at

the temperature of boiling water. The pipet is then removed and cooled to condense the vapor.

Name _____________________________________ Date _________________ Period ____

2

Once cooled, the pipet is weighed. By massing the same pipet filled with deionized water, the

volume of the pipet is calculated. The molar mass of the volatile liquid is then determined from

Equation 3 using the mass of the condensed vapor, the volume of the pipet, the atmospheric

pressure, and the temperature of the boiling water.

Experiment Overview: The purpose of this to determine the molar masses of various gases and

volatile liquids. In part 1, the gases are massed with a special gas syringe and their molar masses

are determined by comparisons to data from oxygen measurements. In part 2, liquids are

volatilized and condensed in a fixed volume. The condensed vapor is massed and the liquid’s

molar mass is calculated from the experimental data.

Pre-Lab Questions:

1. The following data represent a determination of the “molar mass” of a sample of air by

comparison with the mass of oxygen as the reference gas. Assuming the air is 79% nitrogen,

20% oxygen, and 1% argon, and that these gases act as ideal gases, calculate both the

experimental and theoretical “molar mass” of air. See equation 4 in the Background section.

Mass of evacuated syringe 40.687 g

Air O2

Mass of syringe and gas 40.741 g 40.747 g

Mass of gas 0.054 g 0.060

Mass of gas/Mass of oxygen 1.00

Experimental molar mass ---

Theoretical molar mass 32.00

(Hint: For determining the theoretical molar mass of air, assume the percentages represent the

mole fraction of each gas in the solution of air.)

Acetone and isopropyl alcohol are slightly toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Ethyl alcohol is

made poisonous by the addition of denaturant – it cannot be made non-poisonous. If ammonia or

chlorine gases are used in Part 1, release these gases in an efficient working fume hood. Wear

chemical splash goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, and a chemical-resistant apron. Exercise care

when working with the hot water bath. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before

leaving the laboratory.
