EXPERIMENT 4 Title: Preparation of magnesium sulphate. Date:11.02.2010 Aim: To prepare magnesium sulphate Theory: Magnesium sulfate (or magnesium sulphate) is a chemical compound containing magnesium‚ sulfur and oxygen‚ with the formula MgSO4. In its hydrated form the pH is 6.0 (5.5 to 6.5). It is often encountered as the heptahydrate‚ MgSO4·7H2O‚ commonly called Epsom salt. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is used as a drying agent. Since the anhydrous form is hygroscopic (readily absorbs water

Vapor Pressure and Heat of Vaporization Introduction: Evaporation is the process of a liquid becoming vaporized. When a liquid is placed into a confined space some of the liquids will evaporate. Evaporation of the liquid depends on the strength of the intermolecular forces that are between liquid molecules. During the evaporation process of the liquid‚ new gas molecules exerts pressure in the sealed container‚ while some of the gas condenses back to the liquid state. If the temperature inside

The element‚ magnesium is unlike most because of the way it is composed‚ and many do not know what Magnesium is. The element has unique physical properties‚ a rich history that stretches back to the 17th century‚ and lots of sophisticated uses that are used in your everyday life‚ and vital to your health as a human. Magnesium’s properties are‚ in a way‚ very unique. On the periodic table Magnesium is found in the Alkaline Earth metal group. The structure of the atom consists of twelve protons‚

The Enthalpy of Formation of Magnesium Carbonate By: Jessica Miller T.A: Thomas Lab Partner: Rebekah Melanson Thursday Lab Room 106 Chemistry 1001-A Due Date: Thursday February 3rd 2011 Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the enthalpy of formation of magnesium carbonate in a lab setting. This was done using a calorimeter‚ which was calibrated by adding a known amount of both hot and cold water. Following the calibration of the calorimeter‚ HCl was placed into the empty calorimeter

Magnesium Deficiency in Cattle Introduction Grass Tetany is a common magnesium deficiency disorder in cattle that is caused by a variety of factors such as fertiliser use‚ soil properties‚ breed‚ age‚ climatic effects and management strategies. The following essay aims to outline the causes of magnesium deficiency as was as point out a number of treatment options and prevention methods available to the producer as well as ways for predicting magnesium deficiency. Improving control of this disorder

Lean burn refers to the use of lean mixtures in an internal combustion engine. The air-fuel ratios can be as high as 65:1‚ so the mixture has considerably less fuel in comparison to the stoichiometric combustion ratio (14.7:1 for petrol for example).
