Purpose Improve the diffusion experiment in high school chemistry course, to prevent the excessive inhalation of irritant gases Measure the gas diffusion rate to calculate the molecular weights of HCl and NH3 gas, and compare them with the theoretical values Discuss the influent factors of gas diffusion rate
3
Principle of gas diffusion experiments (1)
* Gas diffusion rate (R) : the volume or mole of the diffusion gas per second R = volume of diffusion gas / time or R = mole of diffusion gas / time
4
Principle of gas diffusion experiments(2)
* Graham’s law :Under the condition of the same temperature and pressure, the gas diffusion rate is proportional to the reciprocal of the square root of the gas molecular weight. R1/ R2= / R1:The diffusion rate of gas R2:The diffusion rate of gas M1:The molecular weight of the gas M2:The molecular weight of the gas 2
5
Principle of gas diffusion experiments(3)
* When the temperature and pressure of gas are different, the diffusion rate can be derived as * Two different gases (assumed to be ideal gas) are compared: or = constant P1:Partial pressure of gas P2:Partial pressure of gas 1 t1:Diffusion time of gas t2:Diffusion time of gas 1

Original experiment of gas diffusion
NH3(g) + HCl(g) → NH4Cl(s) In this experiment, the gas diffuses in the glass tube, so the diffusion rate can be expressed as R = diffusion distance(r) of gas / time(t) The diffusion times of the two different gases are the same. NH4Cl(s) NH4OH(aq) HCl(aq))

Gas diffusion rate M:Molecular Weight According to the Graham’s law:
R1/ R2= / and R = diffusion distance(r) of gas / time(t) t is the same M1/2 r = constant M:Molecular Weight

Comparison
17
Conclusion We try to improve the diffusion experiment, but the experimental results although are slightly improved, but still not as good as expect, maybe some factors are not taken into account. It takes about 158 seconds for HCl(g) to pass 10cm of the tube at 17 ℃, but only 14 seconds for NH3(g). The experimental data do not match the Graham’s law.
18
Conclusion The saturated vapor pressures of concentrated HCl(aq) and NH3(aq) are much different, so they will affect the diffusion rate in the glass tube in the experiments. So, adding the factor of saturated vapor pressure to the diffusion law, the experimental data are more consistent with the theoretical data.
