An investigation is conducted into how the mass of magnesium metal reacting with hydrochloric acid affects the amount of hydroge
n gas produced.
Masses of 0.10g, 0.20g, 0.30g and 0.40g of powdered Mg metal are reacted with hydrochloric acid(HCl). The conical flask containing the reaction mixture of Mg and HCl is connected to another conical flask with a hose. The hydrogen gas produced by the reaction is collected in this conical flask. The greater the amount of hydrogen gas produced by the reaction the greater the pressure of the gas in the flask.
Answer:
A) what is the independent variable:
B) what is the dependent variable:
C) write a hypothesis for this investigation:
D) give 2 variables that should have been controlled for this investigation:

Answer: There are now 2.07 moles of gas in the flask.
Explanation:
P= Pressure of the gas = 697 mmHg = 0.92 atm (760 mmHg= 1 atm)
V= Volume of gas = volume of container = ?
n = number of moles = 1.9
T = Temperature of the gas = 21°C=(21+273)K= 294 K (0°C = 273 K)
R= Value of gas constant = 0.0821 Latm\K mol
When more gas is added to the flask. The new pressure is 775 mm Hg and the temperature is now 26 °C, but the volume remains same.Thus again using ideal gas equation to find number of moles.
P= Pressure of the gas = 775 mmHg = 1.02 atm (760 mmHg= 1 atm)
V= Volume of gas = volume of container = 49.8 L
n = number of moles = ?
T = Temperature of the gas = 26°C=(26+273)K= 299 K (0°C = 273 K)
R= Value of gas constant = 0.0821 Latm\K mol
Thus the now the container contains 2.07 moles.
