Product Information
Used either as a demonstration or a hands-on lab, this kit enables you or your students to determine the molar mass of the metal magnesium.A known mass of magnesium is permitted to react with excess hydrochloric acid, and hydrogen is evolved. The volume of hydrogen is measured and from this value, the mass of a single magnesium atom can be easily calculated. Other metals, such as zinc, can also be used.
Covers: determination of molar mass, stoichiometric ratios, ideal gas equation, pressure and partial pressure, and vapor pressure. Grades 10-12.
Includes: graduated gas generateor and stopper, plastic tubing, gas collection cylinder and stopper, base, weighed magnesium ribbons, 1M HCl, bottle, demo mat, background material,
