확산 속도 비교(그레이엄의 법칙)

HCl과 NH₃ 기체의 확산 속도 비교하기

Gas Laws Intermediate (High School) 30 분 ~$10.00

목표

HCl과 NH₃ 기체가 유리관 안을 이동하는 속도를 비교하여 그레이엄의 확산 법칙을 검증한다.

배경

Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. When HCl (36.5 g/mol) and NH₃ (17 g/mol) diffuse toward each other in a tube, they form a white ring of NH₄Cl where they meet. The ring forms closer to the HCl end because NH₃ diffuses faster.

안전 경고

  • Concentrated HCl fumes are corrosive and irritating
  • Concentrated ammonia fumes are irritating
  • Perform this experiment in a fume hood or well-ventilated area
  • Do not inhale either gas directly

필수 개인 보호 장비

goggles gloves lab_coat

재료

  • Concentrated hydrochloric acid (5 mL)
    For HCl fumes
  • Concentrated ammonia solution (5 mL)
    For NH₃ fumes
  • Cotton wool (2 pieces)
    For soaking

장비

Glass tube (1 m long, 2 cm diameter) Rubber stoppers (2) Ruler Retort stand and clamps Stopwatch

실험 절차

1

Clamp the glass tube horizontally on the retort stand.

3 분
2

In a fume hood, soak one cotton ball in concentrated HCl and another in concentrated ammonia.

2 분 Fume hood — both gases are irritating
3

Simultaneously insert the HCl cotton ball into one end and the NH₃ cotton ball into the other end. Stopper both ends.

2 분 Work quickly
4

Start the timer. Watch for a white ring of NH₄Cl to form where the two gases meet.

10 분
5

When the white ring appears, stop the timer. Measure the distance from each end to the ring.

3 분
6

Calculate the ratio of distances: d(NH₃)/d(HCl) should equal √(M(HCl)/M(NH₃)) = √(36.5/17) = 1.46.

5 분

예상 결과

The white NH₄Cl ring should form approximately 60% of the way from the HCl end (40% from the NH₃ end), since NH₃ diffuses 1.46 times faster than HCl. The ratio d(NH₃)/d(HCl) should be approximately 1.4-1.5.

정리

Remove cotton balls and dispose in fume hood. Rinse the glass tube with water. Ventilate the area.
