镁的气体化学计量学

通过Mg与HCl反应计算摩尔体积

Gas Laws Intermediate (High School) 40 分钟 ~$8.00

目标

通过已知质量的镁条与过量盐酸反应,测定室温条件下氢气的摩尔体积。

背景

When magnesium reacts with HCl, hydrogen gas is produced: Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂. By measuring the mass of Mg used and the volume of H₂ collected, the molar volume at room conditions can be calculated and compared with the theoretical value at STP (22.4 L/mol).

安全警告

  • HCl is corrosive
  • Hydrogen is flammable — no flames
  • Handle glassware carefully

所需PPE

goggles gloves lab_coat

材料

  • Magnesium ribbon (0.1 g)
    Accurately weighed
  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) (30 mL)
    2M, excess
  • Distilled water (500 mL)

设备

Eudiometer tube or graduated cylinder (50 mL) Pneumatic trough Copper wire cage Rubber stopper Analytical balance Thermometer Barometer

步骤

1

Weigh a 3-4 cm strip of magnesium ribbon accurately. Record mass to 0.001 g.

3 分钟
2

Roll the Mg ribbon and secure it in a copper wire cage attached to a rubber stopper.

3 分钟
3

Fill the eudiometer tube with 2M HCl. Insert the stopper+Mg assembly, inverting the tube into the trough.

5 分钟 Handle acid carefully
4

Allow the reaction to complete. All the Mg should dissolve, producing H₂ gas that collects at the top.

10 分钟 No flames nearby
5

Equalize water levels inside and outside the tube. Read the gas volume at the meniscus.

3 分钟
6

Record room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

2 分钟
7

Correct for water vapor pressure. Calculate moles of H₂ from Mg mass. Determine molar volume.

8 分钟

预期结果

0.1 g Mg = 0.00411 mol, producing 0.00411 mol H₂. At room conditions (~25°C, 1 atm), volume should be about 100 mL. Calculated molar volume at STP should be approximately 22.4 L/mol (±5%).

清理

Neutralize remaining HCl with NaHCO₃. Dispose down the drain. Rinse all equipment.
