? QUESTIONS ?
How can the composition of a mixture be
determined by measuring the volume of gas
evolved when that mixture undergoes a chemical
reaction?
What principles must be considered in using the
gas volume as a measure of the amount of gas
liberated?
5
Objective:

Concepts:
Ideal Gas Law
Vapor Pressure
Henry’s Law
Stoichiometry
Techniques:
Capture Gaseous Product
Corrections to volume
Apparatus:
Gas Syringe
Thermometer
Barometer
6
The Exercise is Conceptually Simple.
The unknowns consist of a uniform
mixture of NaHCO3 and NaCl
1. Weigh Sample, wSample.
2. Do Chemistry – Reaction with excess HCl
NaHCO3 (s) + H+ (aq)  Na+ (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
+ Cl- (aq)
+ Cl- (aq)
NaCl(s)
 Na+ (aq) + Cl-(aq)
(NaCl will dissolve in, but not react with, HCl)
3. Capture Liberated Gas and Measure its volume, vCO2
7
4. Use Ideal Gas Law to get number of moles of CO2, nCO2
P v = n R T
n CO2 =
P v
CO2
/ RT
Measure P, v & T
5. From Stoichiometry of reaction, get moles of NaHCO3
nNaHCO3 = nCO2
6. From number of moles, get weight
wNaHCO3 = nNaHCO3 * 84.0 g / mol
7. Compute Percent Composition of Sample
PctNaHCO3 = 100 * wNaHCO3 / wSample

If we measure volume of CO2 before the sample

of NaHCO3 will be ______ the actual value.
1 mol NaHCO3

1 mol CO2
Volume of CO2 is proportional to moles (& therefore
weight) of NaHCO3 which have reacted.
Too little CO2 implies too little NaHCO3 and
 too low a percentage.
A
Smaller than
12
How Much HCl is needed to insure that Unknown is
the Limiting Reagent?
NaHCO3 (s) + H+ (aq)  Na+ (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
1 mol NaHCO3 
1 mol HCl
Stoichiometery is 1 : 1. Assume unknown is pure NaHCO3
200 mg NaHCO3/(84 mg/mmol ) = 2.4 mmol max of unknown
 need 2.4 mmol of HCl max to consume it
HCl is 1.0 M = 1.0 mmol /mL
Therefore, need at most 2.4 mmol/ 1.0 mmol/L = 2.4 mL
Are using 10 mL of 1.0 M HCl ( 10 X 1.0 = 10 mmol )
– a significant excess
 Unknown will be the limiting reagent
13
How Much CO2 is produced?
You weigh ~ 0.2 g of unknown.
What is maximum volume of CO2 we can expect?
( with P = 1.0 atm and T = 25oC = 298oK )
On the
NaHCO3 (s) + H+ (aq) Na+ (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
analytical
balance
1 mol NaHCO3  1 mol CO2
0.200 g = 200 mg = 2.4 mmol
v = n R T/ P = 2.4 X 0.0821 X 298 / 1.0 = 59 mL
(Syringe capacity = 60 mL but unknowns  100% NaHCO3)
At STP: 1 mole occupies 22.4 L
1 mmole occupies 22.4 mL
14
How much H2O (l) is produced by the reaction?
NaHCO3 (s) + H+ (aq)  Na+ (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
Reaction produces water.
1 mol NaHCO3  1 mol H2O
Still, considering pure NaHCO3,
(200 mg NaHCO3 = 2.4 mmol)
We produce at most 2.4 mmol of liquid H2O
Is this volume significant compared to the
~ 60 mL of CO2 produced?
15
The volume of 2.4 mmol of liquid H2O is
A. about 1 mL
B. about 1 drop
C. a few mL
0%
A.
0%
B.
0%
C.
16
The volume of 2.4 mmol of liquid H2O is:
2. 4 mmol X 18 mg/mmol = 43.2 mg
Density of water = 1 g/mL = 1000 mg/mL
V of 43.2 mg = 43.2 mg/ (1000 mg/L)
= 0.0432 mL
(1 drop ~ 0.050 mL)
B = Just about 1 drop
17
What Percent of Gas Volume is the H2O we Produce
in the Reaction?
Assume we collect ~50 mL of gas
100 X 0.042 mL
--------------------- = 0.08 %
50 mL
Volume of water produced by the reaction is
< 0.1% of volume of gas collected

Gas Mixtures – Partial Pressure
Reaction is conducted in a closed system
• at constant external pressure
- atmospheric (P ~ 1 atm)
• at constant temperature
- room temperature (T ~ 25oC)
Initially:
System contains air & water (HCl)
Pressure in system is potentially due to:
• water (from HCl)
PH2O
• the air in the system
Pair
And after reaction,
• the liberated CO2
and
Patm
And a small amount of
non-volatile stuff:
200 mg of NaHCO3/NaCl
PH2O + Pair = Patm
PH2O, Pair
PCO2
PH2O + Pair + PCO2 = Patm
23
What is the Magnitude of PH2O?

Initially, we have
P = Piair + PiH2O
Finally, we have
P = Pfair + PfH2O + PfCO2
P,T & nair don’t change, so
PiH2O = PfH2O = PH2O and
P – PH2O = Piair
P = n RT/v
P – PH2O = Pfair + PfCO2
Piair = Pfair + PfCO2
PfCO2 = Piair - Pfair
nCO2g RT/vftot = nair RT/vitot - nair RT/vftot
25
nCO2g RT/vftot = nair RT/vitot - nair RT/vftot
nCO2g /vftot = nair /vitot - nair /vftot
nCO2g
= nair vftot (1/vitot - 1/vftot)
But, nair = (P - PH2O) vitot / RT
nCO2g = [(P - PH2O) vitot / RT] vftot (1/vitot - 1/vftot)
nCO2g = (P - PH2O) (vftot - vitot) / RT
Equation 4
What is partial pressure of CO2 at end of the reaction?
PFCO2 = nCO2g RT/vftot
PfCO2 = [(P - PH2O) (vftot - vitot) /RT ] RT/vftot
PfCO2 = (P - PH2O) (vftot – vitot)/vftot
Equation 6
26
What are the various volumes in the exercise?
vtube: The volume of
just the large test
tube and the right
angle elbow
vitot & vftot: The gas
phase* volume of the
entire closed system
before & after the
reaction
vtube
You will
measure
this!
vtube – vHCl + visyringe
*We must exclude the volume of the liquid HCl but can ignore the solid NaHCO3
27
NOTEthat:
THAT:
Note
Equation 4
vftot – vitot
= vtube – vHCl + vfsyringe – vtube + vHCl – visyringe
vF – vI = vSYS – vHCl + vfsyringe – vSYS + vHCl – visyringe
BUT
Equation 6
1 - vitot / vftot
The most common
errir in this exercise is
to use syringe volumes
in equation 6
28
Gas Solubility – Henry’s Law
nCO2s mol of liberated CO2 dissolves in water.
Using Henry’s Law, can calculate concentration
of CO2 dissolved in water.
kH Given in
SUSB-054
SCO2 = kH * PCO2 ( kH = 3.2 X 10-2 mol / L-atm )
Suppose:
• vtube - volume of large test tube & right angle elbow is
95.0 mL
• Initial syringe reading is 5.0 mL and the final reading is
53.0 mL
• We use 10.0 mL of HCl
From the
table of
PH2O vs T
• P = 1.000 atm,
• T=
22oC
PH2O =

Hg
29
PCO2 =
( P - PH2O ) ( 1 – vitot / vftot)
vitot =
95.0 mL – 10.0 mL + 5.0 mL
Equation 6
=
90.0 mL
vftot = 95.0 mL – 10.0 mL + 53.0 mL = 138.0 mL
PCO2 =
( 1.000 – 0.026) ( 1 – 90.0 / 138.0)
PCO2 =
0.339 atm
SCO2 = 3.2 X 10-2 mol/L-atm * 0.339 atm = 0.011 M
We use 10.0 mL of HCl
nCO2s = 10.0 mL * 0.011 mmol/mL = 0.11 mmol

Departure of gases from Ideality?
Can CO2 be treated as an Ideal Gas?
We can estimate the deviation from ideality by
examining the van der Waals constants.
( P +v a / v2 ) ( v – b ) = RT

For CO2 at Room Temperature, the corrections
to P and v are:

To calculate the Henry’s Law correction, we need the
total volume of the system. Suppose vtube is 100.0 mL
That makes the initial volume,
vitot = 100.0 - 10.0 + 5.0
= 95.0 mL
and the final volume,
vftot = 100.0 - 10.0 + 50.7
= 140.7 mL
vtube = 100.0 mL
Syringe:
Initial = 5.0 mL
Final = 50.7 mL
PCO2 = ( P - PH2O )( 1 – vI / vF)
= ( 0.989 – 0.028)( 1 – 95.0 / 140.7) = 0.312 atm
SCO2 = 3.2 X 10-2 * 0.312 atm = 0.010 M
nCO2s = 10.0 mL * 0.010 mmol/mL = 0.10 mmol

Procedure - Notes
Everyone should weigh ~ 200 mg = 0.2 g
– ACCURATELY – for their initial run
Depending on your sample, you may need to adjust
the weight in subsequent runs to insure that you
get between 30 and 50 mL of CO2, but not more
than 50 mL.
Test that system is air-tight before using
Set syringe at 5.0 mL initially – read to 1 decimal
– remember to subtract initial from final volume
Do test run - then 4 which you report.
