Lab of Determining an Empirical Formula B2 Honors 12/18/13 Abstract In this lab‚ to help better understand the concepts of gram atomic masses and empirical formulas‚ we found the gram atomic masses and empirical formula of a binary compound. The two compounds should form a definite whole number ratio by mass. This ratio will also help determine the subscripts of the elements in the empirical formula. Errors in this experiment can stem from measuring wrong or doing equations incorrectly.

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

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

Pre-Lab Discussion An empirical formula is a formula for a chemical compound found by direct laboratory examination. Laboratory procedures allow the chemist to find the simplest whole number ratio of elements within the compound. In order to find the true molecular formula‚ the chemist also needs to know the compound’s molecular mass. The general procedure is to use laboratory techniques to determine the mass of each element in the compound. In this lab‚ we will react a known quantity of magnesium
