Question

From the previous problem, it was determined that $1.14L$ of carbon dioxide gas should have been collected. Instead, $0.75L$ of gas was collected.
What may be the most probable reason for the difference between the actual amount collected and the theoretical amount calculated?

• A. The theoretical calculation was based on an ideal gas.
• B. The actual amount includes the volume of water vapor contributed by the water bath.
• C. The theoretical amount falsely assumes no interaction between the gas produced and the water bath.
• D. The actual amount did not account for the water vapor pressure.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The theoretical calculation was based on an ideal gas.

True, because in practical situation, we find only real gases differ in properties to ideal gases. Thus practical amount of gas will differ to theoretical amount.

Ans: The Theoretical calculation was based on an ideal gas
