Observations/Qualitative Data: I have used my sense to observe that the magnesium is a solid that is bendable‚ is very light and its color is silver. After being put in a Crucible covered by a lid‚ under a Bunsen burner for a few minutes‚ it has lit up and turned red. After the experiment was over‚ the magnesium was turned into an ash/powdery state and its color became white/grey. Data collection and Processing (DCP): Quantitative Data: Weight in grams of the Magnesium before and after the experiment. Data table: The

10/19/2011 Akruti Patel Lab Report #4: Determination of a chemical formula: the empirical formula of Magnesium Oxide 1. Purpose: Determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide from the percent composition (this can found using the Analytical Method and the Synthesis Method). 2. Introduction: In the late eighteenth century‚ combustion has been studied extensively. In fact‚ according to Steven and Susan Zumdahl‚ Antoine Lavoisier‚ a French Chemist‚ performed thousands of combustion experiments

this lab was to see how magnesium reacts with oxygen. This reaction must be forced with heat. As magnesium changes to magnesium oxide the mass increased. Procedure: 1. Set up the stand and bunsen burne. 2. Go to crucible heat oven to obtain a crucible. 3. Weigh the crucible and lids mass. 4. Break up the magnesium ribbon on the crucible and weigh the mass of the magnesium‚ crucible‚ and lid. 5. Place the crucible on the ring stand over the flame. Allow the magnesium to heat with a slight crack

moles of those elements. “Empirical” also means “experimentally determined”. In this experiment‚ we find the empirical formula of the oxide of magnesium. We will accomplish this task by reacting a massed amount of magnesium with the oxygen in the air. Knowing the original mass of magnesium and the final mass of the magnesium oxide‚ you can find the mass of the oxide portion. From these two masses‚ you can find the empirical formula‚ the ratio of moles. Procedures: 1. Obtain a crucible and inspect

crucible with lid was measured on a balance and the mass of them was recorded in grams which is m of clean crucible = 22.89g . This was followed by weighing the crucible with 0.3 g of Magnesium on a balance. The total mass of mg with the crucible was recorded which was m total mass mg + Crucible = 23.19g. Then the magnesium was heated using a Bunsen burner‚ and we put the crucible with Mg on a clay triangle using tongs in order to get MgO compound. When the Mg was heating‚ it became as a gray white

The Magnesium Oxide Lab In a compound the atoms of different elements are present in numbers whose ratio is usually an integer or a simple fraction. The simplest (or empirical) formula of the compound expresses that ratio. Simplest formulas are determined by establishing the mass of each element present in a sample of the compound. From those masses one finds the number of moles of each element present. The mole ratio is also the atom ratio in the compound and that ratio provides the subscripts

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
