Would the following errors increase, decrease, or have no effect on the calculated moles of gas collected in the experiment? Explain your answers in complete sentences.

a) The measured mass of the magnesium was smaller than the true mass.
b) The actual temperature of the hydrogen gas is less than room temperature.

Respuesta :

a. If the actual mass of Magnesium used was larger then the measured and the amount of gas produced should be greater
b. when gas was cooler than its surroundings its density would be greater and the volume would appear to be smaller. This is because the gas molecules are very active and when heated they will expand.
so they both bound increase the calculated moles of gas collected in the experiment
