I need help I don't get this
1. Since the gas in your graduated cylinder is a mixture of butane and water vapor, you must determine the partial pressure of the butane, Pbutane, alone. To do this, consult a reference and record the partial pressure of the water vapor, Pwater, at the temperature you recorded. Use the following formula to compute the partial pressure of the butane.
Pbutane = Atmosphere - Pwater
2. Use the following combined gas law formula and compute the volume that the butane sample will occupy at STP. (HINT: Convert both temperatures to Kelvin.)
Pbutane x Voriginal = Pstandard x Vfinal Troom Tstandard
3. Use the following ratio and proportion formula to determine the mass of butane needed to occupy a volume of 22.4 L at STP.
Grams of butane you used “X” grams of butane mL of butane corrected to STP = 22,400 mL
4. Compute the theoretical molar mass of butane based on its formula and the atomic masses on the periodic table.
5. Compare your experimental results from #3 to the theoretical value of #4, computing a percent error of your findings using this formula:
% error = measured value - accepted value x 100 accepted value
