Explain how the experimental molecular mass would have been affected (too high, too low or unchanged) if the mass of the flask had been measured with condensed vapor and residual water on the outside. Please support your answer.

Respuesta :

If the flask already has water, your measure is going to be higher than expected and MW is going to be higher too.

At first sight, we need to assume 1 atm as atmospheric pressure, probably forgot to write down this value in the Lab. By doing this, we got all values to calculate the MW.

So, for trial 1:

MW = [0.36 g x (0.082 atm x L / K x mol) x 301 K] / (1 atm x 0.125 L) = 71.08 g/mol

Trial 2:

MW = [0.38 g x (0.082 atm x L / K x mol) x 301 K] / (1 atm x 0.125 L) = 75.53 g/mol

Average MW = 73.31 g/mol
