At STP, the molar volume of all gases is approximately
22.4
L/mol.
True
Knowing the molar volume allows us to convert between the amount of a gas in
moles
and its volume in liters.
The conical flask in the experimental setup is submerged in a
water bath
to maintain a constant temperature.
True
If the lab temperature differs from STP, the gas volume must be adjusted using the
Ideal Gas Law
.
Match the equipment with its purpose:
Gas syringe ↔️ Collect and measure gas volume
Conical flask ↔️ Hold reactants
Water bath ↔️ Maintain constant temperature
To calculate the experimental molar volume, use the formula: Measured gas volume / Number of
moles
If the measured gas volume is 25.0 L and the number of moles is 1.12 mol, the experimental molar volume is
22.3
L/mol
The molar volume of all gases at STP is exactly 22.4 L/mol.
False
To measure the molar volume of a gas, a water bath is used to maintain a constant
temperature
What is the approximate molar volume of all gases at STP?
22.4 L/mol
The molar volume of all gases at STP is exactly 22.4 L/mol.
False
The conical flask in the experimental setup is placed inside a
water
bath to maintain a constant temperature.
How can temperature fluctuations be minimized during the reaction?
Maintain constant water bath
The molar volume is the volume occupied by
1 mole
of a gas at STP.
Steps to measure gas volume accurately:
1️⃣ Set up the conical flask and water bath
2️⃣ React metal and acid
3️⃣ Collect gas in gas syringe
4️⃣ Adjust volume for STP conditions
Match the term with its definition:
Number of moles ↔️ Amount of substance in moles
Mass ↔️ Amount of matter
Molar mass ↔️ Mass of one mole of a substance
The formula to determine the number of moles of gas is
n = m / M
.
The molar volume is the volume occupied by 1 mole of a gas at
STP
.
True
The molar mass is the mass of one
mole
What is the molar mass of hydrogen gas (H₂)?
2 g/mol
If 5 grams of H₂ have a molar mass of 2 g/mol, the number of moles is
2.5
True
To determine the number of moles of gas generated, use the formula
n = m / M
Match the term with its definition:
Number of moles ↔️ Amount of substance in moles
Mass ↔️ Amount of matter
Molar mass ↔️ Mass of one mole of a substance
At STP, the molar volume of all gases is approximately
22.4
L/mol
At STP, the molar volume of hydrogen gas is 22.4 L/mol.
True
To measure the molar volume of a gas, one piece of equipment needed is a gas
syringe
Steps for measuring gas volume in an experiment:
1️⃣ Prepare the conical flask in the water bath
2️⃣ React metal and acid
3️⃣ Collect gas in the gas syringe
4️⃣ Record the final volume
If the experimental molar volume is close to 22.4 L/mol at
STP
, the gas behaves ideally.
True
Steps to measure the gas volume accurately
1️⃣ Set up the conical flask in the water bath
2️⃣ React metal and acid
3️⃣ Collect gas in syringe
4️⃣ Record volume
What does the term 'Molar mass' refer to?
Mass of one mole
The measured gas volume is the volume of gas collected in the gas
syringe
.
The experimental molar volume of a gas can be compared to 22.4 L/mol at STP to confirm ideal behavior.
True
What is the theoretical molar volume of a gas at STP?
22.4 L/mol
To minimize gas leaks in the experimental setup, use
tight
fittings and conduct leak checks.
Reading the gas volume at eye level helps to avoid
parallax errors
.
True
Incomplete reactions can be avoided by adding excess
reactant
if necessary.
