Purpose
The purpose of this experiment is to study the balloons given by the Res Balloon Store. They have asked us to determine the volume of the balloons, the moles of gas in the balloons, and the number of atoms of gas is the balloons. Also, to determine the mass of the helium inside of the balloon.

Materials
Balloon filled with helium
Ruler
A piece of string
Periodic table
Calculator

Procedure
1. First tie down the balloon so it will not fly away. The take the piece of string and wrap it around the center of the balloon.
2. Take the piece of the string of off the balloon and measure the length of the string that was used to measure the circumference in centimeters.
3. Use the circumference that had been calculated, and plug it into the equation C= 2rπ
4. Lastly, use the radius that was calculated and plug it into the last equation V=3/4πr^3 to find the volume of the balloon.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we were able to calculate the volume of the balloon, converting it from inches into liters. We were also able to calculate, because of the volume, the moles of gas, the number of helium atoms and the mass of the gas in the helium. It was a successful experiment but some sources of error were that we might have miscalculated the circumference when measuring the balloon. The method we used could not provide us with an exact measurement. The measurements that were calculated are also not technically correct because we are above sea level making

Molar Volume Of A Gas Using A Eudiometer

Essay about Determining Molar Volume of a Gas

Determining the Molar Volume of Gas Using Magnesium and Hydrochloric Acid and Demonstrating Boyles Law Taylor Payne Abstract: In this experiment we combined a strip of magnesium with hydrochloric acid in a buret and measured the amount of hydrogen gas the reaction produced. We also tracked the pressure inside a syringe as the volume of the syringe increased and decreased. Introduction: The moles and density of the hydrogen gas that is produced in this experiment can be calculated using the…

Molar Mass of Butane Lab Quique Garcia Date of Lab:3/21/14 Introduction The purpose of the lab was to find the molar mass of butane threw an experiment. [1] Butane is a flammable gas found commonly in lighters as an energy source. [2] Molar mass is how much a compound weighs, based on what elements are found in it, and how much of the element is present. If the volume of butane is found then the molar mass becomes possible to find as well. Dimensional analysis will be used in order to…

Avogadro's Law Lab Report

In this experiment, the molar volume of Hydrogen gas was measured by proving Avogadro’s Law. Avogadro’s law or principle was explained as: “Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal number of particles.” (Dingrando, Tallman, Hainen, Wistrom, Chemistry: Matter and Change) Avogadro’s Law is related to the molar volume, which is the volume of one mole at standard temperature and pressure. Standard temperature and pressure (STP) were established as 0.00oC or 273K…

values of the molar mass of the carbon dioxide. The results show that CO2 gas was produced from an Alka-Seltzer reaction. Conclusion: The final results of the experiment, after collection of the CO2 gas, determined the volume of CO2 released, the moles of CO2 released, and the molar mass of the CO2 gas produced. The gas was collected in a balloon, and the total volume was 270.3 cm3. The ideal gas law was used to calculate the moles produced through calculations of the pressure, volume, temperature…

solid, and the mass percentage of analytes such as lemonade powder. In order to do so, we completed steps of titrations, experiments that involve adding a solution from a buret into a specific volume of a solution containing indicator drops until a color change is present. After doing so, I found that the molar concentration of HCl is .09568 M, the mass percent of OH in unknown A is 40.52% and 25.48% in unknown B, and the average mass percent of analyte with the lemonade was 5.85% and 33.64% with the…
