Give a conclusion‚ which describes why the mass of copper carbonate may have changed during your experiment. When the copper carbonate is heated it decomposes forming copper oxide and carbon dioxide. The copper carbonate turns into a bright

standard heat formation (∆H°F) of MgO‚ using a calorimeter and determining the enthalpy of two reactions. Applying Hess’ law we were able to determine the standard heat formation of MgO. Introduction Energy exchanged in a chemical reaction can either be in the form of heat or light. If light is involved a glow is seen‚ if heat is involved the temperature of the system will change(lab manual page 35). The amount of heat exchanged under constant pressure is called the enthalpy change‚ this can

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

A known starting mass of magnesium and the measured collection of hydrogen gas will be used to determine the reaction stoichiometry and the valency of magnesium Introduction Stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative relationship between amounts of reactants and products of a reaction. Stoichiometry can be used to calculate the amount of a product formed when given the reactants and a percentage yield. In the case of this experiment‚ a known starting mass of magnesium ribbon and the amount of

difference in the amount of calcium carbonate in brown versus white chicken eggs. Background: Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a component of seashells and eggshells that gives them their strength and hardness. Because calcium carbonate is a base‚ it will react with acids to form a salt and water. The complete reaction of calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is: CaCO3 (s) + HCl (aq) ( CaCl2 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l) The portion of the shell that is not calcium carbonate does not react with acid and

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‚

Working out the Formula of Magnesium oxide Aims When magnesium is heated in air‚ it reacts with oxygen. During this oxidation reaction‚ magnesium oxide is produced. This increases the mass. If we know the mass of magnesium at the start‚ and the mass of magnesium oxide produced at the end‚ we can work out the mass of oxygen which has been combined with the magnesium. We can use these masses to work out the formula of magnesium oxide. Apparatus Googles

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
