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

The Birth of the Euro and Its Effects The Birth of the Euro and Its Effects ROBERT SOLOMON Guest Scholar The Brookings Institution T he euro was born at the beginning of this year as the currency of the newly formed European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). As has been widely observed‚ this is a historic event. Not since the Roman Empire has a good part of Europe had the same currency. EMU was conceived in 1988–89 by a committee consisting mainly of central bankers chaired by Jacque

This experiment will test the suggestion that the enthalpy change between a metal and a solution of a salt is related to the relative position of the two metals in the reactivity. Presumably the further apart in the series the bigger the enthalpy change will be. The experiment is as follows‚ 1) Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s) 2) Zn(s) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) Zn(NO3)2 (aq) + Pb(s) Both of the solutions will be in 1mol.dm-3 Apparatus: Distilled Water Polystyrene Cup

A tropical cyclone is a rapidly-rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center‚ strong winds‚ and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain. Tropical cyclones typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water. They derive their energy from the evaporation of water from the ocean surface‚ which ultimately recondenses into clouds and rain when moist air rises and cools to saturation. This energy source differs from that of mid-latitude cyclonic storms‚ such

Purpose: To determine the percent magnesium by mass in magnesium oxide and to observe if the percentage composition is constant by comparing class results. Hypothesis/Prediction: The percent composition by mass of magnesium in magnesium oxide will not change significantly with each group that conducted the experiment. The composition of each substance should stay the same and any differences must be due to some error.

respiration. Urea is produced in the liver from excess amino acids. Where are the substances excreted? Carbon dioxide is passed from the cells of respiring tissues into the blood stream. It is transported in the blood (mostly in the form of hydrogen carbonate ions) to the lung. In the lungs the carbon dioxide diffuses into the alveoli to be excreted as we breathe out. Urea is produced by breaking down excess amino acids in the liver. This process is known as deamination. The urea is then passed through

Should fluorine be added to water? Introduction: Fluoride is a natural mineral and a chemical‚ which is a compound of fluorine that is the most commonly used in water sources. However not only for that‚ it also has a various number of other uses in example: making molten metals flow‚ and burning materials etc. as it is an extremely reactive and highly toxic element‚ so when it comes to adding fluoride to public water‚ that’s when mankind is faced with some extremely

Experiment 5 In the first part of this lab‚ the objective was to get the molar concentration of sodium hydroxide by using the secondary standard‚ sodium hydroxide solution with the primary standard‚ potassium hydrogen phthalate. With this information‚ we could create a second derivative plot‚ which can be used to obtain the exact concentration of the secondary standard‚ sodium hydroxide. Also‚ the indicator can give us these results along with the end points and with the readings from the pH meter;

Title: Formation of a Salt Objective: Students will observe the reaction of NaHCO3 and HCl. Students will draw the Lewis Electron Dot Diagrams of Na+ and Cl-. Students will site examples of how to identify an ionic compound. Materials: Materials include 6M of HCl and NaHCO3 ‚ a 100 milliliter (mL) beaker‚ a 10 mL graduated cylinder‚ a dropper‚ phenol red indicator‚ distilled water‚ a hot plate‚ a balance‚ a magnifying glass‚ and beaker tongs. Procedure: First‚ measure the mass of

contains seventeen formations that range from the Pleistocene to Late Jurassic. Between these bedrock layers‚ there are several unconformities that separate these strata. The rock formations that are exposed at Torrey Pines bluffs show only the Bay Point Formation‚ Torrey Sandstone‚ and Delmar Formation. This means that between the Bay Point Formation and the Torrey Sandstone‚ there are nine formations that should exist between these strata‚ yet they are not found. Bay Point Formation (120‚000 years)
