Started slowing down as magnesium disappeared. Some HCl went out the stopper. Some bubbles stuck to the side of the tube and to the string. Magnesium eventually disappeared.

Calculations:

    1. Number of moles of magnesium
      0.04/24.30 = 0.00165 moles of hydrogen reacted.
    2. Partial pressure of hydrogen
      29.00*2.54/10 = 736.6 mmHg
      736.6-19.25 = 717.35
      717.35/760 = 0.944 atm of hydrogen
    3. Volume at 1 atm
      P1V1=P2V2   0.944*44.85=1.00*V2 V2=42.3mL
    4. Volume at 273.15 oK
      V1/T1=V2/T2   42.3/(21.5+273.15)=V2/273.15
      V2=39.2mL
    5. Volume of 1 mol hydrogen at STP
      (29.2/1000)/0.00165=23.8 mol hydrogen

Conclusion:
