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.

The element‚ magnesium is unlike most because of the way it is composed‚ and many do not know what Magnesium is. The element has unique physical properties‚ a rich history that stretches back to the 17th century‚ and lots of sophisticated uses that are used in your everyday life‚ and vital to your health as a human. Magnesium’s properties are‚ in a way‚ very unique. On the periodic table Magnesium is found in the Alkaline Earth metal group. The structure of the atom consists of twelve protons‚

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.

Mass of Magnesium(Mg) (g) | Volume of Hydrogen (H₂) (cm³) | 1st trial | 0.040 | 39.9 | 2nd trial | 0.040 | 40.3 | 3rd trial | 0.035 | 36.5 | Quantitative data: The Magnesium was silvery-white‚ lustrous and relatively flexible before being placed in the burette. Whilst reacting with the hydrochloric acid‚ it dissolved and bubbles were visible. The hydrochloric acid slowly diffused downwards. Calculations: Volume of un-diffused hydrochloric acid = 25 cm³ Average mass of magnesium = 0.038

ANTACIDS- Classification and Mechanism of Action INTRODUCTION Antacids are defined as a substance‚ generally a base‚ which counteracts stomach acidity. The name antacid means anti-acid (against acid). Antacids are the primary treatment for ailments such as gastric reflux‚ gastritis‚ upset stomach and heartburn. Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the stomach to kill harmful organisms‚ aid digestion and activate digestive enzymes. Excess secretion of acid into stomach or impaired resistance by

oxidation-reduction reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid solution. We compared the experimental measured amount of a product and the amount predicted by the theoretical calculation of a balanced equation: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) PROCEDURE First we obtained a strip of pre-cut magnesium ribbon‚ cleaned it with steel wool to remove any signs of oxidation from the strip (which would alter our results)‚ and then weighed it (individual masses of the magnesium strips for each trial can

Zinc oxide in a mixture with a about 0.5% iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) is called calamine and is used in calamine lotion. There are also two minerals‚ smithsonite and hemimorphite‚ which have been called calamine historically (see: calamine (mineral). Zinc peroxide‚ ZnO2 .½ H2O‚ is a white to yellow powder that is used in antiseptic ointments. Zinc white is used as a pigment in paints and is more opaque than lithopone‚ but less opaque than titanium dioxide. It is also used in coatings for paper

EXPERIMENT 4 Title: Preparation of magnesium sulphate. Date:11.02.2010 Aim: To prepare magnesium sulphate Theory: Magnesium sulfate (or magnesium sulphate) is a chemical compound containing magnesium‚ sulfur and oxygen‚ with the formula MgSO4. In its hydrated form the pH is 6.0 (5.5 to 6.5). It is often encountered as the heptahydrate‚ MgSO4·7H2O‚ commonly called Epsom salt. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is used as a drying agent. Since the anhydrous form is hygroscopic (readily absorbs water
