EXPERIMENT 1
DETERMINATON OF MOLAR
MASS OF A VOLATILE LIQUID BY
VAPOR-DENSITY METHOD
[Learning Outcomes
• Estimate the molar mass of volatile liquids
from their vapor densities at a temperature
above their boiling points using the Dumas
method. (CO1, CO4, CO5)
• Use the ideal gas law in the pertinent
calculations in the experiment. (CO1, CO4,
CO5)

Mass of vapor
MM= m/n
[Assumptions
• Sample is not so volatile that it will escape
thru the orifice as the container cools.
• The gas behaves ideally. No interaction.

[Procedure
Empty 125-mL
Note Proom
E. flask
• Weigh
• Cover with Al foil secured with Cu wire
Covered E. flask
• Weigh
3-4 mL unknown sample
• Immerse in H2O bath with boiling stones
• Complete the set-up
Water level must cover
Unknown sample in most of the flask. Water
Dumas set-up should not enter the flask.

[Safety Precaution
Do not inhale vapors
for long periods of time
[Safety Precaution
Avoid skin contact
[Safety Precaution
Wipe the spill using tissue
paper and allow to evaporate
in the fumehood.
[Safety Precaution
After injection, the plunger
should be pulled out of the
syringe body to dry in the
hood.
[AFTER THE EXPERIMENT
• Complete the report sheet and have it
signed by the professor
• Submit also the calculation per group
