Empirical Formula Lab Class: Chemistry 1405 Fall 2013 Aim: The aim of this Lab Exercise is to use the mass of a chemical and use that mass to find the amount of moles of the final product you can get using the empirical formula. Introduction: The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in the compound‚ which as you will discover‚ is a ratio of the moles of those elements. “Empirical” also means “experimentally determined”. In this experiment

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 for Magnesium

The Synthesis and Determination of Empirical Formula for Magnesium Oxide Aim: To determine the empirical formula for magnesium oxide. Data Collection: Table 1 Mass of empty crucible‚ crucible + Mg (roughly 1cm pieces of a 15-cm piece of magnesium ribbon)‚ and crucible +MgxOy. (mass measured with an analytical balance). The mass of crucible + MgxOy was obtained after a continuous process of heating‚ letting cool‚ heating with water enough to immerse the content and letting cool of the Mg. Mass

The Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide. Focus Question – Can the mass of magnesium combusted in excess oxygen be used to determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide? Hypothesis – Combustion of Magnesium will generate data which can be used to calculate the EF of Magnesium Oxide Experimental Report: Data Collection and Processing Qualitative Observations: * The Magnesium burnt with a very bright flame. (as seen in figure 2 below) * White smoke was formed and some

In this experiment‚ we have silver oxide and by using a bunsen burner‚ we will drive off all of the oxygen in the compound. We will do this by heating the silver oxide until the substance’s mass stays constant to know when all of the oxygen possible has been driven out. This process will occur through a series of heating and remassing. Silver oxide has many uses from batteries to military purposes. In a silver-zinc battery‚ silver oxide acts as the cathode and zinc as the anode. This battery is

Working out 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. Apparatus Googles
