Victoria MacDonald SCH3U Zegil Due May 5th‚ 2017 Magnesium Oxide Lab Purpose: To determine the composition by mass of magnesium oxide‚ the percentage composition‚ and the percentage yield. Hypothesis: The law of definite proportions states that a chemical compound always contains the same amount of proportions of elements by mass. Based on the law of definite proportions‚ the percentage composition of magnesium oxide should be 60.3% magnesium and 39.7% oxygen. Prediction: Based on the law of

Composition of Magnesium Oxide Aleshia Otieno Mr. Taylor SCH3U-01 Lab #4 Monday‚ November 17‚ 2014 Introduction Percentage composition is the percentage of a formula mass represented by each element. Percentage composition compares the mass of one part of a substance to the mass of the whole. The law of definite proportions states that a specific compound always contains the same amount of elements in fixed proportions by mass. By finding the percent composition of magnesium oxide one will

The purpose of this lab was to find the empirical formula for magnesium oxide. To find this formula‚ a strip of Magnesium ribbon was burned in a crucible over a flame from a bunson burner. After the strip caught fire multiple times with the cover on‚ and 10 drops of distilled water were added‚ and the crucible was lightly heated. The crucible was then weighed and the mass recorded. Calculations were performed and the mole ratio of Mg to O was recorded. The results of other lab groups performing

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

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

Finding 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. Eye protection must be worn Apparatus Crucible and lid
