ATOMIC WEIGHT OF MAGNESIUM LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab experiment is to determine the atomic weight of magnesium by measuring the amount of hydrogen gas evolved when hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium. The reaction is as followed: Mg + 2HCL H2 + Mg2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) In this experiment there is a one to one relationship between the number of moles of hydrogen gas evolved and the moles of magnesium metal consumed in the reaction. Therefore in the finding of the experiment

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

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

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

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

Magnesium‚ an abundant mineral in the body‚ is naturally present in many foods‚ added to other food products‚ available as a dietary supplement‚ and present in some medicines (such as antacids and laxatives). Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body‚ including protein synthesis‚ muscle and nerve function‚ blood glucose control‚ and blood pressure regulation [1-3]. Magnesium is required for energy production‚ oxidative phosphorylation

Finding Density Density is defined as mass per unit volume‚ which can be used to determine the object or substance observed. Many people use the density of objects to find what it is and how to classify the object. The object of the lab conducted was to find the density of the substances given and to find what the unknown liquid and solid were. The process to finding what the unknown solid and liquid were‚ was to find the density and to conduct multiple trials so when the density
