A student measured the volume of gas produced in 30 seconds from a
reaction between 2g of magnesium and 20cm' of 2 mol/dm hydrochloric
acid. The student repeated the experiment 5 times and the volumes
collected (cm) were: 13.5, 13.1. 17.5, 13.7 and 13.0. Calculate the mean,
discounting any anomalies.
