Formal Lab Report #1 I. Basics Title of the Experiment: The Empirical Formula of an Oxide Authors: Section Number: Chemistry Location and Date II. Abstract The aim in this lab was to determine the empirical formula of an oxide of magnesium through combustion in air. This was achieved by heating an established mass of magnesium in air inside of a crucible‚ ultimately attaining a compound that contained Mg and O. The major result of the experiment was the empirical formula of the oxide of magnesium

amount of heat evolved when magnesium reacts with dilute acids. Planning What I am going to do I am going to find out how much heat is given out when magnesium reacts with a variety of dilute acids. In order to make comparisons between the acids‚ I shall use my results to work out how much heat would be given out if 1 mole of magnesium reacted with an excess of each acid. The acids I shall use are hydrochloric acid‚ sulphuric acid‚ nitric acid and ethanoic acid. What I already know Magnesium reacts

In this case‚ you are using tin foil. The cooking surface is black construction paper because it retains heat very well. If you’ve ever worn a black shirt on a sunny day‚ or sat down on the black seat of a car in the summer‚ you know that black surfaces absorb and retain a lot of heat. Ouch! As heat is retained

Heats of Combustion of Alkanols Aim: To perform a first-hand investigation to determine the heats of combustion of selected alkanols. Hypothesis: It was predicted that methanol would have the highest molar heat of combustion‚ decreasing as the chains become longer. Equipment: • Three spirit burners containing methanol‚ ethanol and propan-1-ol respectively • Electronic scales • Water • 100ml measuring cylinder • Retort stand and boss-head clamp • Copper beaker • Thermometer Method:

Combustion Of Alcohols Planning This investigation involves burning alcohol in the air. Key science- Chemistry by Eileen Ramsden says that " an alcohol is a series of organic‚ homologous compounds‚ with the general formula Cn H2n+1OH". The alcohol reacts with the oxygen in the air to form the products water and carbon dioxide: Cn H2n+1OH +(n+n/2)-1O2 ? nH2O + nCO2 The structure of the molecules in this reaction is: H H | | H - C - C - O- H + 3[O=O] ? 1/2[O=C=O] + 3[H-O-H] | | H H This reaction

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.

PHYS 124 – 3:30 Th Lab 5: Joule Heat John Doe 4/3/2014 Introduction The objective of this lab is to learn that whenever there is an electrical current in a conductor‚ there is some electrical energy that is converted into heat energy. The heat generated in an electrical circuit is commonly referred to as joule heat. Sir James Joule studies of these separate phenomena lead him to the discovery of the proportionality constant known as the Joule equivalent of heat‚ denoted by J. The Joule equivalent
