9/15/11 AP Chemistry Dr. Isotone Lab 1: Determination of the Empirical Formula of Silver Oxide Lab Objective: In this experiment‚ the percent composition and empirical formula of silver oxide will be determined. Silver oxide will be heated until it decomposes to silver metal and oxygen‚ and the percent calculation and empirical formula can be calculated based on combining the ratios of silver and oxygen in the reaction. Summary of Lab Procedure: 1. Set up Bunsen burner on

Melissa Carrithers 9-17-14 Period: 6 Determination of the Empirical Formula of Silver Oxide Purpose: To find the percent composition and empirical formula of silver oxide can then be calculated‚ based on combining the ratios of silver and oxygen in the reaction. Hypothesis: Silver oxide decomposes to silver metal and oxygen when strongly heated. Heating Silver oxide causes the oxygen to be driven off‚ leaving only the silver metal behind. The total mass of the products of a chemical reaction must

Laboratory 3. Empirical Formula Of An Oxide This experiment will demonstrate the law of conservation of mass‚ and more specifically‚ how the law can be used to experimentally determine the empirical formula of our intended product‚ magnesium oxide. In this experiment we will learn how to: 1. heat a sample in a crucible with a Bunsen burner. 2. use the method of weight by difference to determine mass quantities. 3. convert grams to moles. 4. determine the simplest ratio between two

Empirical Formula Lab Class: Chemistry 1405 Fall 2013 Aim: The aim of this Lab Exercise is to use the mass of a chemical and use that mass to find the amount of moles of the final product you can get using the empirical formula. Introduction: The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in the compound‚ which as you will discover‚ is a ratio of the moles of those elements. “Empirical” also means “experimentally determined”. 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

Sean Dowling Julia Phaltankar Mrs. Oakes Chemistry w/ Algebra 10/G February 18‚ 2015 Determining Empirical Formula Lab Introduction: One can find an empirical formula by taking a sample of a compound and dividing the number of moles of one element in the compound by the number of moles of another element in the compound to form a small wholenumber formula. For example‚ in a sample of a made up compound of oxygen and lead‚ one mole of lead has a molar mass of 207.2 g/mole‚ and oxygen

Chemistry pre- IB Empirical Formula Observations/Qualitative Data: I have used my sense to observe that the magnesium is a solid that is bendable‚ is very light and its color is silver. After being put in a Crucible covered by a lid‚ under a Bunsen burner for a few minutes‚ it has lit up and turned red. After the experiment was over‚ the magnesium was turned into an ash/powdery state and its color became white/grey. Data collection and Processing (DCP): Quantitative Data: Weight in grams

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

A) January 18‚ 2011B) Empirical Formula C) The purpose is to determine the empirical formula of a metallic oxide. D) Pre Lab Questions: After heating the metal‚ the crucible and contents should mass less than it did before it was heated. This is because heating the crucible may rid of other residue that was left in it; bringing it a to a constant mass. A yellow flame will deposit soot on the crucible. This would be a problem because the soot left on the crucible would vary from our constant
