Molar Volume Lab (November 22, 2011)

In this lab we followed the steps to determine the molar volume of a gas (Butane = C4H10)

1) Fill the sink about 3/4 w/ water
2) Weigh your butane lighter on the scale
3) Place the graduated cylinder in water (base facing upwards)
4) Fill the whole graduated cylinder w/ water
5) Hold the butane lighter under the cylinder (water)
6) Click the butane lighter to release butane in cylinder
7) Make a measurement of the amount of butane filling the test tube
8) Dry the butane lighter in oven for about 10-15 min
9) Weigh the butane lighter again
10) Make calculations
11) Clean up
