Document Summary

In this experiment, the amount of coating of zinc on nails was measured to determine whether the company that galvanizes nails is charging the right price for its services. Gravimetric analysis and gasometric analysis were used during each trial and compared for effectiveness. Gravimetric analysis was useful for this experiment because it involved measuring the mass lost by nails. Gasometric analysis was useful because it measured a by-product of the reaction to determine the amount of zinc coating. Each nail was weighed before being placed in a flask with hydrochloric acid. The flask had a stopper with rubber tubing that connected to a 100 ml inverted cylinder that was in a 600 ml beaker about halfway full of water. As the hydrochloric acid dissolved the zinc on the nail, hydrogen gas was a by-product and displaced some of the water in the 100 ml cylinder.
