Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12 and an atomic mass of 24. It has 12 protons‚ 12 neutrons (varies with isotopes)‚ and 12 electrons (if it has no charge). Magnesium has a boiling point of 1363 K (1091 C/1944 F) and a melting point of 923 K (650 C/1202 F). At room temperature magnesium is solid. You can buy magnesium for $0.83 per lb. Magnesium is a metal and belongs to the alkaline-earth metal family. Magnesium was named after the city of Magnesia; it was discovered by Bussy in 1828 A.D.

part I of the lab‚ the primary standard was the potassium hydrogen phthalate and the secondary standard was the sodium hydroxide solution. The differences between the two standards is that the primary standard‚ potassium hydrogen phthalate is a weak acid that reacts with NaOH compared to the secondary standard‚ sodium hydroxide that is basic and hygroscopic‚ meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. It was necessary to standardize NaOH solution because the compound is never a 100% NaOH since it absorbs

Title: Determination of the valency of magnesium Objective: To study the quantitative relationship between the amount of reactant and products of a reaction. 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: In Chemistry‚ stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative relationship between amounts of reactants and products of a reaction (that is‚ how many moles of A react

Chemical Formula Principles Chemical Formula is a system of chemical notation that was invented in 181 by John Jakob Berzelius. The system is based on the law of definite proportions”‚ states that all samples of a given chemical compound have the same elemental composition. It is also a way of expressing information about the proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound‚ using a single line of chemical element symbols‚ numbers‚ and sometimes also other symbols‚ such as

Chemical Reactions Lab Introduction Four different types of chemical reactions were observed in this lab. Synthesis reactions occur when two different elements or compounds form a more complex compound as shown by equation (1). Single replacement occurs when one element replaces another to form a new compound as shown in equation (2). Double replacement occurs when two different atoms in different compounds trade places with one another to form two new compounds as shown in equation (3).Combustion

The Enthalpy of Formation of Magnesium Carbonate By: Jessica Miller T.A: Thomas Lab Partner: Rebekah Melanson Thursday Lab Room 106 Chemistry 1001-A Due Date: Thursday February 3rd 2011 Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the enthalpy of formation of magnesium carbonate in a lab setting. This was done using a calorimeter‚ which was calibrated by adding a known amount of both hot and cold water. Following the calibration of the calorimeter‚ HCl was placed into the empty calorimeter

For known amounts of reactants‚ theoretical amounts of product can be calculated in a chemical process. These calculated products are determined using the limiting reagent‚ (the substance that runs out first which stops the reaction) and are called the theoretical yield. The theoretical yield is the amount of product that should be acquired during the experiment if all aspects go perfectly. However‚ due to experimental errors‚ very few labs do so. These results are called actual yield. The percent
