Charles Law Investigation What is Absolute Zero? Background: Jacques Alexander Cesar Charles, in 1787 studied the effect of temperature change on the behavior of a gas. Charles reasoned that there was a direct relationship between the volume of a gas and the absolute temperature at a constant pressure. He stated that the volume of a fixed quantity of gas at constant pressure increases in a linear fashion with the absolute temperature. In developing a useful tool for predicting the behavior of gases, Charles was aided by Sir William Thompson, a Scottish nobleman whose title was Lord Kelvin. Kelvin, in 1848 proposed the idea of an absolute temperature scale that would eliminate the problems inherent in the current scales when the temperature fell below zero. Objective: To experimentally verify the value of absolute zero Determination of Volume Change due to Temperature: 1. Fill two 400-ml beaker half full with tap water. 2. Begin heating the water in one beaker to a temperature that is 10C above room temperature. 3. Fill a thin stem pipette completely with room-temperature water. To make sure the pipette is filled, first draw in as much water as possible. Then, holding the pipette by the bulb with the stem pointing upward, squeeze the bulb slightly to eject any air left in the bulb and stem. Keeping this pressure on the bulb, insert the tip of the stem into the water. Release the pressure on the bulb, and the pipette will fill completely. 4. Dispense the water from the pipette, counting the total number of drops it takes to empty the pipette. (The number should be about 100 drops) 5. Stop heating the hot water beaker when the temperature has risen about 10C above room temperature. 6. Holding the thin stem pipette by the stem, immerse the bulb in the warm water. 7. Hold the pipette in the warm water for a few minutes so that the air in the pipette reaches the temperature of the water. 8. Pinch the stem of the pipette to seal off the bulb. Place the bulb in the roomtemperature beaker of water. 9. Still pinching the stem, immerse the entire pipette, including the stem, in the water. Release the stem underwater. A small amount of water should be drawn up into the pipette. This water is equal in volume to the amount of gas lost when the pipette bulb was heated and the air inside it expanded (thus it represents the increase in volume of the air inside the pipette). 10. Remove the pipette from the water bath. Dry the outside of the pipette with a paper towel. Expel the water, counting the number of drops of water that were drawn into the pipette. 11. Add the number of drops (representing the increased volume of the air) to the initial (room-temperature) volume to get the new volume at this temperature.

Gases 12. Dry the inside of the pipette by drawing in air and then releasing the bulb several times. 13. Repeat this process to record the volume change at five points relatively evenly spaced between 20C and 75C. Calculation of Absolute Zero: In science, graphing is an important tool used to determine the relationship between two variables. As described by Charles, there is a direct relationship between volume and temperature. We will show this relationship both graphically and mathematically as we extrapolate the data we collected to determine an experimental value for absolute zero. 1. Graph (on paper) your five data points. Draw a straight line through the points and extrapolate below the X-axis until the line intersects the Y-axis. This point will be your absolute zero (the temperature at which the volume becomes 0). 2. Check your value for absolute zero mathematically using a spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel a. Enter your data into the spreadsheet b. Using the equation for a line, enter calculations to determine the slope of your line c. Using the equation for a line, enter calculations to determine where your line intersects the Y-axis. 1. Use your spreadsheet to graph your data and compare it to your hand drawn graph. 2. Choose the value for absolute zero that you feel is the best answer. 3. Calculate the percent error between your chosen value and actual absolute zero (0 K). 4. Percent error =(actual value–experimental value/actual value) x 100 Notes: 1. Remember when you are working in Excel that you need only refer to the position of the data rather than the absolute numbers, thus the same formula will work for all data points. 2. Remember you guidelines for graphing and use them to verify your procedure a. Dependent (y axis – temperature oC) vs. independent(x axis – number of drops) variable b. Positive vs. negative slope – use to predict if you are doing the graph correctly 3. Include the following with your lab report: a. Hand drawn graph b. Spreadsheet graph c. Spreadsheet printout showing calculations d. Percent error calculation

Molar Volume Lab Problem: Using the following reaction, determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas produced. Mg + 2HCl  MgCl2 + H2 Procedure: Begin with a few centimeters of magnesium ribbon ( you must determine its mass). Obtain a collecting tube (eudiometer) from you instructor, who will add approximately 5.0 ml of HCl (12M). Fill the tube with water. Roll the magnesium into a small coil, secured with string, and push the coil into the tube with the thread extending. Invert the tube in a large beaker about half-filled with water. As the higher density HCl falls to the bottom of the tube the reaction will proceed. When the reaction is complete, measure the volume of hydrogen gas produced inside the tube in ml (this will be V1). Record the temperature and barometric pressure in the room. CLEAN UP. Determine an accurate measurement of the volume of hydrogen produced and convert to STP using the following steps: 1. Correct the barometric pressure for the presence of water vapor 2. Convert the volume to STP Determine the number of moles of magnesium used in the reaction and use the stoichiometry of the reaction to determine the number of moles of hydrogen gas produced. Use your liters of gas and moles of gas produced to find the volume of one mole of hydrogen gas at STP. Calculate your percent error, compared to the standard molar volume of a gas.
