    This experiment aims to use gas laws to calculate the molar mass of butane gas and compare the rates of effusion of ammonia and hydrochloric acid gases. Students collect butane gas from a lighter into a flask of water and use the gas laws to determine the molar mass. They also observe the rates of diffusion of ammonia and hydrochloric acid gases through a glass tube.

    EXPERIMENT 4

    GAS LAWS

    I. OBJECTIVE

    At the end of this experiment, the student must be able to


     use gas laws to predict how a change in one of the properties of a gas will affect the
    remaining properties;
     apply the gas laws to calculate the molar mass of a gas; and
     compare the rates of effusion of gases.

    II. MATERIALS

    A. CHEMICALS

     concentrated ammonia
     concentrated hydrochloric acid

    B. APPARATUS

     balance  250-mL Erlenmeyer flask


     watch glass  disposable cigarette lighter
     pail or trough  10-cm glass tubing
     thermometer  cotton buds
     500-mL graduated cylinder  ruler
     100-mL graduated cylinder

    III. PROCEDURE

    A. Molar Mass of Butane

    1. Immerse a disposable lighter in a pail of water. After one minute, take it out and wipe it
    dry with a tissue paper. Determine the mass of the dry lighter and record in Table 4.1.

    2. Fill a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask completely with water. Transfer the contents of the flask
    into a 500-mL graduated cylinder to determine the exact volume of water needed to fill
    the Erlenmeyer flask. Record this volume in Table 4.1.

    3. Refill the flask with water and cover with a watch glass without trapping any air. Holding
    the watch glass in place with your finger, immerse the flask completely under water and
    then turn the flask upside down. Remove the watch glass.

    4. Carefully, hold the lighter under the water. The gas opening should be beneath the mouth
    of the inverted flask all the time. Press the release lever of the lighter. Make sure that all
    the gas bubbles enter the flask. Continue to hold the lever until you have collected
    approximately 200 mL of gas.

    5. Remove the lighter, wipe it dry with tissue paper and determine its mass.

    6. Before removing the gas-filled flask from the water, carefully raise or lower the flask until
    the water level inside and outside the flask is the same.

    7. Hold the flask at this level and carefully slip the watch glass over the mouth of the flask.
    Hold the flask tightly and lift the flask out of the water and set it upright, being careful not
    to spill any water.

    8. Carry the flask, still covered with the watch glass to the fume hood. KEEP THE GAS
    AWAY FROM ANY SPARKS OR AN OPEN FLAME.

    9. Measure the volume of water that remained in the flask using a 100-mL graduated
    cylinder. Record this volume in Table 5.1. Determine the volume of the gas collected in
    the flask.

    10. Measure and record the temperature of the water in the pail. Your instructor will provide
    the atmospheric pressure and vapor pressure of water at different temperatures.

    B. Effusion of NH3 and HCl

    1. Obtain a piece of 10-cm dry glass tubing.

    2. DO THIS UNDER THE HOOD. Place 3 drops of concentrated NH3 on one end of a cotton
    bud and 3 drops of concentrated HCl on the end of another cotton bud.

    3. Simultaneously insert the buds on the opposite ends of the glass tubing.

    4. Wait for the formation of a white ring on the glass tubing. Put a mark on the ring formed
    and measure the distances travelled by each gas.
