Chemistry 211 Lab Fall 2002 Lab #6 -- Practical Use of the Ideal Gas Law: Identification of an Unknown Metal Sample Purpose The identification of a metal sample, chosen at random from three possibilities. The sample will be reacted with aqueous strong acid, which will result in the production of a gas. The gas sample is collected over water, and then quantified by applying the Ideal Gas Law. Comparison of reaction stoichiometry is then used to determine moles of unknown metal, and with the mass of the unknown sample, molar mass is obtained (g/mol), providing a basis for the identifi
