In this lab we will produce acetylene by placing calcium carbide (CaC2) in water. Write the chemical formula for the reaction between calcium carbide and water knowing that the product is acetylene (C2H2). 2. The acetylene in this lab will be collected in a test tube and burned. Write the balanced equation for the combustion of acetylene. 3. Look at

are the products of the combustion of a candle? The purpose of this lab was to find out the properties and characteristics of a candle. Also the purpose was to find the remnants that the combustion of a candle leaves behind as gas. I learned that the candle that is burning releases a certain gas into the air. I also learned that limewater has a chemical reaction when exposed to that gas and turns red. Hypothesis: For this Lab‚ my hypothesis was that the candles are going from solid to gas because

For this experiment me and my lab partner didn’t finish the experiment. We only end up to adding the magnesium sulfate. We added so much magnesium sulfate‚ and ended up drying the whole product without any liquid left. We were trying to do the procedure all over again but‚ we will ended up to not finishing the experiment still due to time constrain. I will try to explain the possibility what will happen up to the end of the experiment. After measuring the 10ml graduated cylinder‚ which is 27.27g

The test tube with a side pipe was connected with a glass syringe. 3. About 3 cm of magnesium ribbon was measured out using a ruler. 4. The magnesium ribbon was polished using steel wool to remove any coating of oxides as magnesium can be a reactive metal. When magnesium is exposed to oxygen it reacts to form metal oxides. This step is necessary in order to obtain reliable results. 5. The mass of magnesium ribbon was measured and recorded using top pan balance. 6. Step 3‚ 4 and 5 was repeated

Burning peanuts to simulate cellular respiration This lab will be assessed on Conclusion & Evaluation. Aim To determine the average energy content of 1g of peanut. Method 1. Set up a clamp stand so that it is holding a 100cm3 beaker. 2. Using a measuring cylinder‚ pour 50cm3 of water into the beaker. 3. Use a thermometer to record the temperature of the water. 4. Place some aluminium foil over the beaker to prevent heat loss. 5. Record the mass of a peanut using an electronic balance

product which is Magnesium Metal. Another objective was determining the formula of the compound that results when Magnesium and Oxygen react. Theory: The purpose of this lab was to confirm the chemical formula of magnesium oxide by comparing the masses of pure magnesium solid prior to any reaction and magnesium oxide solid after a reaction between all of the magnesium and oxygen from the air when heated from a Bunsen burner in a crucible. Using molar masses of both magnesium and oxygen‚ an expected

Pre-Lab Discussion An empirical formula is a formula for a chemical compound found by direct laboratory examination. Laboratory procedures allow the chemist to find the simplest whole number ratio of elements within the compound. In order to find the true molecular formula‚ the chemist also needs to know the compound’s molecular mass. The general procedure is to use laboratory techniques to determine the mass of each element in the compound. In this lab‚ we will react a known quantity of magnesium

Magnesium‚ an abundant mineral in the body‚ is naturally present in many foods‚ added to other food products‚ available as a dietary supplement‚ and present in some medicines (such as antacids and laxatives). Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body‚ including protein synthesis‚ muscle and nerve function‚ blood glucose control‚ and blood pressure regulation [1-3]. Magnesium is required for energy production‚ oxidative phosphorylation

Lab Report 3: Combustion of Magnesium and Specific Heat of a Metal C4C Jeffrey Silvin Fall 2017 Major Kittle Chem 100 T1 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine an experimental value for the heat of formation of MgO with Hess’s Law and then use the result to find percent error. To do so‚ approximately 50 mL of 1.0 M HCl was added to a calorimeter. Initial temperature was measured and then 0.25 g of Mg was added. After the reaction is completed the maximum temperature was recorded.

Abstract In the Lab Determining the Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide‚ students set out to find if there is a true 1:1 ratio in the empirical formula of MgO. This was determined by burning the Magnesium until a white smoke started to protrude. This showed the reaction of Oxygen combining with Magnesium to form Magnesium Oxide. This was then measured again and turned out to be slightly heavier than the measurement before. This added weight is Oxygen‚ forming the combustion of Magnesium Oxide. The formula
