COMBUSTION OF MAGNESIUM OXIDE DESIGN Aim/Purpose: To calculate the number of moles and the empirical formula of magnesium oxide. Safety precautions: 1) Wear lab coat 2) Wear gogles. 3)Make sure the bunsen burner is working properly and their is no leakage. 4) Wear gloves. Hypothesis: The weight of the magnesium ribbon increases after burning‚ so this indicated that their was a change in mass. This change happened because of the magnesium ribbon inside the crucible which reacted with Oxygen

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 Stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative relationship between amounts of reactants and products of a reaction. Stoichiometry can be used to calculate the amount of a product formed when given the reactants and a percentage yield. In the case of this experiment‚ a known starting mass of magnesium ribbon and the amount of

Protectionism Last year the rapid economic growth in China accompanied by an “open door “ policy on the part of the regime‚ can be viewed in Western nations as a source of major investment and trading opportunities. However‚ China ’s size and its political complexion can also be interpreted as a potential threat. This fear of China leads to the path of protectionist atmosphere. After a introduction about protectionism‚ the section II will show that Anti-dumping measure is a protectionist measure. Then‚ section

much quicker then we would like. Calcium is the most promoted nutrient by proponents of conventional‚ nutritional‚ and alternative medicine. This is a great and tragic mistake. They should have been promoting magnesium. Magnesium deficiency leads to an increase in myocardial levels of both sodium and calcium. This is a problem because Coronary Artery calcium is a predictor of near-term coronary heart disease events. In the face of growing magnesium deficiencies calcium becomes increasingly more toxic

Introduction: Discovered in the early 1500s by an alchemist by the name of Paracelsus‚ then observed and recorded by Robert Boyle and later Henry Cavendish‚ hydrogen is the most abundant element on earth and is an essential element for life. This element makes up about 90% of all atoms‚ the most popular being water. Today‚ it is seen as the clean fuel of the future‚ is used in products such as fertilizer‚ and it helps aid in the production of plastics‚ pharmaceuticals‚ and even margarine. Also

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 from the air) and is

The Law of Definite Proportions states that a chemical compound contains the same element in exactly the same proportions by mass regardless of the size of the sample or source of the compound. This relates to the magnesium oxide lab because we tested out this theory to see if it is true that the law of definite proportions says that a chemical compound contains the same element in exactly the same proportions by mass regardless of the size of the sample or source of the compound. In this experiment

Signed_________________________________________ Abstract A common road salt‚ magnesium chloride‚ was analyzed in the lab to test its effectiveness as a road salt. The Van’t Hoff factor of the salt and the enthalpy of dissolution when dissolved in pure water were experimentally tested to evaluate its many characteristics as a deicer. To determine the Van’t Hoff factor‚ the difference of temperatures of freezing water and a solution of magnesium chloride was determined. A Van’t Hoff factor average of 2.88 was

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.
