This document contains sample calculations to determine various properties of a vapor in a container: 1) The moles of vapor were calculated to be 5.3022 x 10-3 mol from the pressure, temperature, and volume. 2) The estimated molar mass of the vapor was determined to be 79.40 g/mol. 3) The moles of air displaced by the vapor were calculated to be 1.1088 x 10-3 moles. 4) The true mass of vapor was calculated by accounting for the displaced air, giving a value of 0.453 g. 5) The corrected molar mass of the vapor was then calculated to be 85.44 g/mol.

VI. Summary and Conclusion
The preparation of liquid solutions provided insight on the process to determine the molar
volume of distilled water, with a very slight difference to the literature value of the molar density of
distilled water. The calculations used in the lectures were used, and it enabled us to understand more
the concept of the topic because we were able to apply it to actual experiments. The experiment could
have been easier to perform if more apparatus were available for each group. The experiment also
showed the direct proportionality of the amount of a substance to its mole fraction in a solution. We
were able to determine the molar volume of solution, wherein ethanol was used in different volume
percentages. Overall the experiment helped us to gain more knowledge in molar volumes, and
varying densities, however more accurate results could have been achieved had there been more
apparatus available, so more time could have been saved.
