LAB!

In this class, we did a lab to experimentally determine the molar volume of a gas.We had to measure how much mass does butane have and also the molar mass.

The directions for the lab is as follows:

1. Set up the weigh scale.
2. Weigh the mass of the Butane lighter.
3. Fill the sink with water. Make sure to clog it so that water won’t drain.
4. Fill the graduated cylinder with water.
5. Turn it upside down while keeping the water trapped inside.
6. Direct the Lighter under the graduated cylinder.
7. Fill the graduated cylinder with about 20-25mL of Butane.
8. Dry the Butane lighter after use.
9. Weigh the mass of the Butane lighter.
10. Calculate the mass of Butane that was used.
11. Calculate how many moles of Butane are in the mass. ( )
12. Determine the Molar Volume of Butane. ( )
