Determination of the Formula of Magnesium Oxide. Introduction: Magnesium is a mental‚ it is known to react with oxygen. Magnesium reacts vigorously when heated in the presence of air‚ which is why we have chosen high heat in our method to facilitate combustion. This oxidation reaction produces magnesium oxide gaining oxygen from the air. When sharing of electrons occur a chemical bond is made and the atoms combine to form a molecule. So‚ the predicted molecular formula: Mg + O2--------->

Determining the Chemical Formula of a Hydrate Chemistry 11 3/5/2013 Purpose: To determine the percent by mass of water in a hydrate of copper (II) sulfate hydrate. Hypothesis: I hypothesize that when the solution is heated the hydrate will convert to an anhydrous ionic compound. Then the percentage composition will be determined by weighing the mass of the white crystals. Materials: 400ml beaker‚ hot plate‚ tongs‚ scoopula‚ electronic balance‚ glass rod‚ hot pad‚ and 4g of hydrated

The Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide. Focus Question – Can the mass of magnesium combusted in excess oxygen be used to determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide? Hypothesis – Combustion of Magnesium will generate data which can be used to calculate the EF of Magnesium Oxide Experimental Report: Data Collection and Processing Qualitative Observations: * The Magnesium burnt with a very bright flame. (as seen in figure 2 below) * White smoke was formed and some

relationship between the mass of magnesium and mass of oxygen once the magnesium has been heated and reacted with the oxygen. There will be 3 variables in this experiment. The independent variable will be the mass of magnesium ribbon as different measurements will be taken and used for each trial. The dependant variable will be the mass of Magnesium Oxide‚ this is a measured variable as the mass of oxygen can be calculated and will enable us to determine the formula for Magnesium Oxide. The controlled variable

COMBUSTION OF MAGNESIUM OXIDE DESIGN Aim/Purpose: To calculate the number of moles and the empirical formula of magnesium oxide. Safety precautions: 1) Wear lab coat 2) Wear gogles. 3)Make sure the bunsen burner is working properly and their is no leakage. 4) Wear gloves. Hypothesis: The weight of the magnesium ribbon increases after burning‚ so this indicated that their was a change in mass. This change happened because of the magnesium ribbon inside the crucible which reacted with Oxygen

The Law of Definite Proportions states that a chemical compound contains the same element in exactly the same proportions by mass regardless of the size of the sample or source of the compound. This relates to the magnesium oxide lab because we tested out this theory to see if it is true that the law of definite proportions says that a chemical compound contains the same element in exactly the same proportions by mass regardless of the size of the sample or source of the compound. In this experiment

The Synthesis and Determination of Empirical Formula for Magnesium Oxide Aim: To determine the empirical formula for magnesium oxide. Data Collection: Table 1 Mass of empty crucible‚ crucible + Mg (roughly 1cm pieces of a 15-cm piece of magnesium ribbon)‚ and crucible +MgxOy. (mass measured with an analytical balance). The mass of crucible + MgxOy was obtained after a continuous process of heating‚ letting cool‚ heating with water enough to immerse the content and letting cool of the Mg. Mass

Verification of the Molecular Formula and Percent Composition of the Compound Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Nice sounding title Date Performed Lab: 8/31/06 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to confirm the chemical formula of magnesium oxide by comparing the masses of pure magnesium solid prior to any reaction and magnesium oxide solid after a reaction between all of the magnesium and oxygen from the air when heated from a Bunsen burner in a crucible. Using molar masses of both magnesium and oxygen‚ an expected
