A eudiometer is a lab device that helped measure the changes in the volume of the gas mixture in this experiment. The physical and chemical changes of the gas were closely observed. Hydrogen gas was obtained by reacting zinc and magnesium. In order to determine the accurate number of moles, the ideal gas law was used. Once the experiment was over, the number of moles were found to be n = 0.00113 mole. With the help of a balanced equation for the reaction, the moles of metal in the samples were found to be 0.00057 moles Mg. The same equation was used to determine the moles of hydrogen gas produced during the experiment. When zinc was involved i...
