Classic AP Requirement #5—Determination of the Molar Volume of a Gas

In this experiment, students determine the volume of one mole of hydrogen gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP). Hydrogen is generated by the reaction of a known mass of magnesium with an excess of hydrochloric acid in an inverted gas measuring tube filled with water. The volume of hydrogen collected by water displacement is measured and corrected for differences in temperature and pressure in order to calculate the molar volume of hydrogen at STP.

Complete for 24 students working in pairs.

Performance Expectations

HS-PS1-1: Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
HS-PS1-2: Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
HS-PS1-5: Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.
