Aim Of The Experiment
In this experiment we will learn about the diffusion of gases.

Experimental
In this experiment we take a glass tube and put cotton balls (plugs) into the two side of the
tube. Both ends of the diffusion tube are loosely closed with rubber stoppers. We prepared
one small container with concentrated HCl and the other with NH3. We put a few drops of
HCl on one side of the diffusion tube and a few drops of NH3 on the other side of the
diffusion tube. Then we changed the spark plugs and recorded the time. A white residue will
form in the tube. We re-recorded the time. We measured the distance from the inner end of
each cotton to the center of the white residue to the nearest 0.1 cm.

Materials
▪ 12M HCl (aq)
▪ 15M NH3
▪ NaHCO3
▪ Glass tube (1 cm * 70 cm)
▪ (2) 50-mL beakers
▪ (2) Medicine droppers
▪ (2) Rubber stoppers
▪ (2) Ring stands
▪ Meter stick
▪ Cotton balls
▪ Stopwatch
Results
Distance from HCl to product 23.5 cm
Distance from NH3 to product 26.5 cm

Rate of diffusion of HCl (Distance/Time) 0,131 (Distance/Time)


Rate of diffusion of NH3 (Distance/Time) 0.147 (Distance/Time)
Experimental ratio of rates (NH3/HCl) 1.13
Theoretical ratio of rates (NH3/HCl) 1.46

NOTE: (It is assumed that we get the reaction completion time of 180 seconds.)

REACTION FORMULA :

HCl + NH3 >>>>> NH4Cl

Discussion
This experiment is to analysis behavior of gases according to Avagadro’s law. First, we take
a glass tube and put cotton balls (plugs) into the two side of the tube. We close two side of
the tube by using rubber stopper. We pour a few drop of HCl on the one side and a few drop
of NH3 at the other side. As soon as we poured the HCL and NH3 we change the rubber
stoppers and, wait for a few mintues. Meanwhile we recored the time as well. And the
reaction continued until the exchange of these two substances was balanced. We carried out
our experiment step by step and as a result, smoke formed in the middle of the tube.(A circle
of white smoke appeared in the tube.) In all the changes we saw , we recorded the times of
the data and the distances to the formed smoke and calculated the diffusion rates of the given
substances using various formulas using the law of diffusion of gases.
As result, the velocity of the gases is inversely proportional to the square root of their
molecular weight, so the NH3 molecule diffused faster because it was lighter than the HCl
molecule. In this experiment we learned how gases spread under enclosed conditions until
two substances react each other while we record time.
We also learned to use some experimental equipment.The tools we used are included: glass
tube, beaker, rubber stopper, 12M HCl (aq) , 15M NH3 , Medicinedroppers , Ring stands ,
meter stick, Stopwatch , Cotton balls etc.
Questions
⦁What are the hazards of working with concentrated solutions of HCl and NH3, andwhat
precautions should youfollow?
When working with strong acids and bases, you should definitely wear your protective
equipment. These equipments; glasses, gloves and a white coat. If the hair is long, it should
be tied. In case of contact with the body, it should be washed with plenty of water. The
nearest health institution should be consulted.

⦁How will you know when gaseous NH3 and HCl molecules will have made contact
witheach other?
Observing the white smoke that is formed. Also ammonia diffuses faster because the
molecules are lighter than the hydrogen chloride molecules.

⦁Predict whether the NH4Cl crystals will form closer to the source of NH3 or HClgas.
Crystals form closer to HCl. Because Ammonia gas spreads faster.
