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
