1. In an experiment measuring the mass of coin, 24 replicates gave the following results in grams.
2. In an experiment you are doing, you need to draw gas samples into a Tedlar bag, from your reactor
and send it out for analysis. Your reactor is at pressure P1 and its volume is V1. The gas collected
is conditioned to reach a final volume of V2. The sampling was done at a constant temperature of
T. The following data are collected.
T = 300 ± 1 K, P1= 300 ± 0.2 torr, V1 = 300 ± 0.1 ml, V2 = 30 ± 0.02 ml. Assuming ideal gas law i.e.,
