DETERMINATION OF THE CHEMICAL FORMULA FOR A HYDRATE USING MOLE RATIO OF WATER MASS AND MAGNESIUM SULPHATE INTRODUCTION Ionic (salt) compounds are able to hold loose bonds with water molecules. A hydrate is a compound that incorporates water molecules into its crystalline lattice structure (McGraw-Hill Ryerson‚ 2014). Identifying a compound as hydrated or anhydrous is important as the mass of the compound increases if it contains water molecules. In nature‚ hydrates exist with a fixed ratio

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--------->

FORMAL LAB REPORT INTRODUCTION John Dalton’s atomic theory states that elements combine in simple numerical ratios to form compounds. A compound‚ no matter how it is formed‚ always contains the same elements in the same proportion by weight. The law of mass conservation states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. In this experiment‚ the mass of the metal was not destroyed or created; the metal’s mass was simply changed into a compound form once the gas

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

Shawn Dubbs Lab 1 The Mole Concept of and the Chemical Formula of a Hydrate Abstract: The objective of this lab was to conduct an experiment to analyze the molar components in alum. This was conducted by heating the alum till the water had evaporated and then determining the number of moles for each component. Then using the these amounts to figure out the empirical formula for alum. Results: In order to determine how much of each separate component a total mass was taken before hand for

Formula of a Hydrate Lab Wednesday October 29‚ 2014 Chemistry Honors Purpose This lab was done to determine the percentage of water in a hydrate‚ which was CuSO4 ?H20. Not only the percentage of water can be found‚ the moles of water can be found per one mole of anhydrous salt. An anhydrous salt is a hydrate that lost its water. Using various lab equipment such as burners‚ crucible‚ and balance‚ and techniques such as the mass-to-mole ratio and mass to percentage‚ the percentage of water in a hydrate

INVESTIGATION investigating the properties of Period 3 oxides Aim The purpose of this experiment is to examine the oxides of Period 3 elements and describe their bonding and structure. Introduction You carry out an investigation along similar lines to the work you did on the chlorides of the elements in Period 3 (Experiment 4.12). However‚ you will not be asked to test the oxides with cyclohexane because unlike the covalent chlorides‚ most of the oxides are not composed of discrete molecules. Therefore
