Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

of this lab was to test the law of definite proportions for the synthesis reaction of combusting magnesium. In this lab‚ the polished magnesium ribbon was placed in covered crucible and was heated in order for it to react with Oxygen presented in air and in water provided. The result showed that Magnesium oxide formed through chemical reaction was made up of 60.19% magnesium and 39.81% oxygen‚ which is approximate proportion of both particles in every Magnesium oxide compound. From this lab it can

Determination of % Composition of Pennies Using Redox and Double Displacement (Precipitation) Reactions Introduction: Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL‚ then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield. Purpose: In this lab‚ we will determine the percent composition of a modern (post-1982) penny by using a strong acid to react and dissolve the zinc

Determining the Percent Oxygen in the Air INTRODUCTION: Recent tragedies in coal mines have exemplified the importance for us humans to breathe an adequate amount of oxygen if we are to survive. But what amount of oxygen is adequate? How can we know the amount of oxygen present in what we consider fresh air? The purpose of this experiment was to determine the percent oxygen typically present in air. The conclusion of the test suggested that the concentration of oxygen in the lab at the time of

Stradlater’s composition is supposed to be about a room in a house that can be described. Holden decides to write about his dead brother’s baseball glove because he is deeply depressed about his death and has not come to terms with his grief over the loss of his brother. Allie’s glove‚ with the green writing on it‚ is symbolic of isolation. Allie felt separate from his teammates while playing baseball. Instead of paying attention to the game‚ he would write poetry on his glove while playing the outfield

Percentage composition by mass of magnesium oxide – Report Objective: To measure and calculate the ratio of magnesium to oxygen in magnesium oxide. To compare the lab ratio to the percent composition calculation based on the formula. Hypothesis: Based on the law of definite proportions‚ the percentage composition of magnesium oxide should be around 60% magnesium and 40% oxygen. Materials: * Goggles * Centigram or analytical balance * 2-4 cm magnesium ribbon
