Experiment 7 - Molar Mass of a Volatile Liquid
Introduction. Given the mass of vapor at conditions of known pressure, volume, and temperature, one can determine the molar mass of the vapor. The Ideal Gas Law mathematically relates the quantities of pressure (P in atm), volume (V in liters), and temperature (T in Kelvin) and the quantity of gas (n in moles). Using the expression PV=nRT where R equals the Ideal Gas Constant 0.0821 L*atm/K*mol, one can determine the quantity of gas under given conditions of pressure, volume and temperature. The number of moles of gas is found by

Because the molar mass (MM) is defined as the mass of one mole of substance in units of g/mol, the molar mass of the vapor can be determined by
MM= mass of vapor in grams/moles of vapor
In this experiment, an unknown volatile liquid is heated in a boiling water bath and is vaporized. The vapor forces air from the flask until the pressure within the flask equals the barometric pressure of the lab. As with all gases, the vapor occupies the entire volume of its container. The temperature of the vapor equals the temperature of the boiling water bath. After 8-10 minutes, the vapor is cooled. The mass of the condensed liquid is determined and the molar mass is calculated as described above.
Notes:
Check out unknown from stockroom
Record unknown number
Before weighing your condensed vapor, thoroughly dry the outside of the flask and make sure that no water is trapped under the foil cover
Do not rinse your flask with water between trials
Dispose of waste in appropriate container
Procedure. You will record your data and calculations in your lab notebook.
Obtain an unknown liquid and a 3 inch aluminum foil square. You will need two 600 or 800 mL beakers, and 3 or 4 boiling chips.
Add 3 or 4 boiling chips to the water in an 800 mL beaker and heat the water to the boiling point. Continue heating for 8 to 10 minutes after the water comes to a rolling boil. The temperature of the boiling water is 100.0oC. This will be the temperature of the vapor. Convert the temperature to Kelvin and record in your lab notebook.

Post Lab Questions: Answer the following questions using complete sentences. Include them after your conclusion.
1. If a lab group did not keep the flask submerged in boiling water for a full ten minutes, and some unknown never vaporized, how would that affect the calculated molar mass? In other words, would it make the calculated value too high or too low? Explain why.
2. While performing this experiment, ten lab groups have ten different unknown volatile liquids with a range of molar masses. If all lab groups have exactly the same size of flask (255 mL), and all groups took their unknown vapor to the same temperature (100.0oC) and pressure (760.0 mmHg), how would the number of molecules within the different flasks compare? Would it vary with molar mass? How? Explain.
3. A student has determined that an unknown liquid is either 1-chlorobutane or t-butyl chloride. What other physical property(s) could be used to determine the identity of the unknown?
I need help writing a decent conclusion. Every time I submit a lab report the professor slams my conclusion saying it needs work. She wants us to state what the results mean and if they are as expected and explain the possible reasons for variation in your results. The lab is below with data/results. Please, please help.
The Ideal Gas Equation: The Determination of Gas Constant, R
Introduction:
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the gas constant R and the percentage of KClO3 in the KClO3 â KCl â MnO2 mixture using the moles of O2, the original weight of the mixture, and the stoichiometry of the reaction. Consider a plot PV vs. nT for a gas sample where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume occupied by the gas, n is the number of moles of gas, and T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin. If the temperatures and pressures fall in normal ranges, the plot will yield a straight line. Thus, PV = nRT where R is the constant of proportionality between the PV product and the nT product. The object of this experiment is to determine P, V, n, and T for a gas sample and determine the gas constant R, using the equation PV = nRT. The gas sample used will be a sample of oxygen gas generated by the MnO2 catalyzed decomposition of KClO3. Following is the equation of the reaction:
For decomposition of the KClO3 in a KClO3 â KCl â MnO2 mixture, the mass of O2can be determined by taking the difference between the mass of the original mixture and the mass of the residue after the decomposition. This mass is then converted to moles of O2 using the molecular weight of oxygen. The volume of the sample will be determined by water displacement in such a way that the pressure of the sample can be determined from the barometric pressure and the vapor pressure of water. The temperature of the sample will be directly measured.
Procedure:
Assemble the equipment for the apparatus shown in figure 1. With the Florence flask filled to the neck with water, the beaker one-third filled with water, and the pinch clamp open, blow into the tube which connects to the test to create a siphon between the flask and the beaker. Reverse the siphon a few times by raising and lowering the beaker. This will fill the tube connecting the flask and the beaker with water and will also remove air bubbles from the system. Adjust the siphon such that the flask is filled to the neck with water, and close the pinch clamp.
Weigh the eight inch test tube. Add approx. 1.5 grams of the KClO3 â KCl â MnO2mixture to the test tube and weigh the test tube containing the mixture. Record each weight to three decimal places. (Also, be sure and record the sample number for the KClO3 â KCl â MnO2.)
Clamp the test tube to the ring stand, and insert the stopper as shown in figure 1. With the pinch clamp open, raise the level of the beaker such that the water level in the beaker is several inches above the water level in the flask. If a significant amount of water runs into the flask, there is an air leak in the system. If you have an air leak, it must be closed before proceeding. Equalize the pressure in the flask with atmospheric pressure by bringing the water level in the beaker to the same height as the water level in the flask. After closing the pinch clamp, empty and dry the beaker. Open the pinch clamp. A small amount of water will run into the beaker: this will not affect your results since later in this experiment, you will again equalize the pressure in the flask with atmospheric pressure. Ask your instructor to check your apparatus before proceeding.
Heat the mixture with a blue flame until the mixture first begins to melt and then solidifies again; and then heat for an additional 2 mins. (Donât heat more than 7 mins.) Allow the system to cool for 15 mins. Equalize the pressure with atmospheric pressure, as before; then close the pinch clamp and open the system. Quickly measure the temperature of the gas in the flask; also measure the volume of water in the beaker. Record the barometric pressure reading from professor. Weigh the test tube with the residue and record the mass to three decimal places.
