Molar Gas Lab

Activity Overview

Students use stoichiometry to determine the mass of oxygen gas in a bottle. They may also check their answer against the amount of potassium chloride produced during the reaction.

Before the Activity

Students need to understand gas laws and stoichiometry.

During the Activity

Students use stoichiometry to determine the mass of oxygen gas in a bottle.

After the Activity

Review student answers:

  • As a class, discuss questions that appeared to be more challenging
  • Re-teach concepts as necessary
