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

Name: Name of lab partner: Date: Title: Determination of the valency of magnesium Objective: To study the quantitative relationship between the amount of reactant and products of a reaction. 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: In Chemistry‚ stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative relationship between amounts of reactants and products of a reaction

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

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

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

Tittle: protection *click* Intro: Some people say that the government should be more responsible for damage done to the environment by harmful corporations. A reason behind this maybe is that the government holds all the supremacy. Other people disagree and say that the government should not be responsible for protecting environments for damaging corporations. Other people may say this since the government has many other problems that are at a higher priority. The government should be more responsible

iLab‚ Week # 3 ATOMIC WEIGHT OF MAGNESIUM LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab experiment is to determine the atomic weight of magnesium by measuring the amount of hydrogen gas evolved when hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium. The reaction is as followed: Mg + 2HCL H2 + Mg2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) In this experiment there is a one to one relationship between the number of moles of hydrogen gas evolved and the moles of magnesium metal consumed in the reaction. Therefore in the finding of
