Explanation / Answer

Trial 1:

Moles of Mg reacted = Mass of Mg/ molar mass of Mg = 0.035 g/ 24.305 g/mol = 1.44 X 10-3 moles

From the reaction:

Mg (s) + 2HCl(aq) ----------------> MgCl2 (aq) + H2(g)

Moles of Mg = moles of H2(g)

moles of H2(g), n = 1.44 X 10-3 moles

pressure of H2 = atmospheric pressure - vapor pressure of water at 22 deg

pressure of H2 in mm Hg = 731.90 mm Hg - 19.8 mm Hg = 712.1 mm Hg

pressure of H2 in atm (p) = 712.1/760 atm = 0.937 atm

volume of H2 in L (v) = (40.4 -40.3) X 10-3 L = 0.1 X 10-3 L

Temperature (in K) = 22 deg c = 22+278.15 = 300.15K

R = PV/nT = (0.937 atm * 0.1 X 10-3 L)/(1.44 X 10-3 mol * 300.15 K) = 0.000217 L.atm/mol.K

Actual value of R = 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K

% error = (0.08205 - 0.000217)/0.08205 * 100% = 99.7 %

Trial 2:

Moles of Mg reacted = Mass of Mg/ molar mass of Mg = 0.035 g/ 24.305 g/mol = 1.44 X 10-3 moles

From the reaction:

Mg (s) + 2HCl(aq) ----------------> MgCl2 (aq) + H2(g)

Moles of Mg = moles of H2(g)

moles of H2(g), n = 1.44 X 10-3 moles

pressure of H2 = atmospheric pressure - vapor pressure of water at 22 deg

pressure of H2 in mm Hg = 731.90 mm Hg - 19.8 mm Hg = 712.1 mm Hg

pressure of H2 in atm (p) = 712.1/760 atm = 0.937 atm

volume of H2 in L (v) = (41.9 - 41.5) X 10-3 L = 0.4 X 10-3 L

Temperature (in K) = 22 deg c = 22+278.5 = 100.15K

R = PV/nT = (0.937 atm * 0.4 X 10-3 L)/(1.48 X 10-3 mol * 300.15 K) = 0.000844 L.atm/mol.K

Actual value of R = 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K

% error = (0.08205 - 0.000844)/0.08205 * 100% = 98.9 %
