sure. we know that the molarity of gas in a constant temperature and pressure (exp, room temperature, 25 celcius, 1 atm) will have a constant volume. in 25'c, 1 atm, the volume of one mole of gas is 24.5 L. so that if we know the volume of the gas, we can divide it by 24.5, such that we can determine the molarity of that gas. and molarity times molar mass will equal to the mass of a type of gas.

calculation : given a known volume V at 25'c , 1atm

no of mole of gas = v / 24.5 = q mole of gas.

mass of gas = q(no of mole of gas) x Mr(molecular mass of that type of gas)

*assumption : it is a pure gas (contain the same type of gas), and we also know the type of gas we are testing( so that we know the molecular mass of that gas)

method 2:

1) weight the mass of a balloon(p).

2) pump the gas/ gasses into the balloon, weight the mass of the balloon +gasses(q).

3) p-q = weight of the gasses

* disadvantages : we cannot define the mixture of gasses inside the balloon.

* since we got analytic chemistry, we can put the gasses into a nuclear magnetic resonance spectorscopy and analyse the substance inside the balloon because of chemial shift.

Why is a mass loss method more accurate than collecting gas?

The mass loss method is more accurate because every unit of the substance that has been subject to reaction is measured. Collecting gas leaves a mass of the substance between the liquid and the gas collection apparatus.

Why is mass measured in?

Because the same amount of gas will always weigh the same while the volume will vary with pressure.


What can volume mass and weight be measured by?

Volume is measured with pipettes, liquid or gas counters, burettes, cylinders, calibrated recipients etc.Mass is measured with all types of balances.For weight, in physics weight = mass x gravitational acceleration.
