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.

Determining the Concentration of a Solution: Beer’s Law Purpose: The purpose of the experiment is to determine the concentration and formula of an unknown cobalt nitrate solution by measuring absorbance. Introduction: A Colorimeter will be used to determine the concentration and formula of an unknown cobalt nitrate solution. The colorimeter sends blue light from the LED light source to pass through the solution and hit a photocell. A solution with a higher concentration will absorb more

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to explore the properties of an unknown compound. An unknown was given and a cation flame test and anion test was performed to determine the identity of the compound. Once the identity was determined‚ the properties were explored. Experimental To determine the cation of the compound‚ a cation flame test was performed. A bunsen burner was lit until a medium blue flame was burning. The given unknown was scooped onto a nichrome wire loop. The wire was held

Chemistry 2 Jorge Nuñez Ms. Principe / Period 2 February 8th‚ 2011 Aim: How are we going to determine the empirical formula of a compound? Do Now: 1) What is the percent by mass of oxygen in H2C2O4? H2 = 2(1) = 2 ; C2 = 2(12) = 24 ; O4 = 4(16) = 96 Gram Formula Mass = 90 Percentage of Oxygen = 6490 x 100 = 71% 2) Calculate the percentage of water: -Mass of empty crucible and cover = 11.7g -Mass of crucible‚ cover‚ and hydrate before heating = 14.9g -Mass of crucible

Purpose: To determine the percent magnesium by mass in magnesium oxide and to observe if the percentage composition is constant by comparing class results. Hypothesis/Prediction: The percent composition by mass of magnesium in magnesium oxide will not change significantly with each group that conducted the experiment. The composition of each substance should stay the same and any differences must be due to some error.

Beryllium and magnesium These are just like the reactions with dilute hydrochloric acid‚ and you have probably been familiar with the reaction between magnesium and dilute sulphuric acid almost since you started doing chemistry. Bubbles of hydrogen are formed‚ together with colourless solutions of beryllium or magnesium sulphate. For example: Calcium‚ strontium and barium Calcium sulphate is sparingly soluble‚ and you can think of strontium and barium sulphates as being insoluble

Magnesium Oxide: Origin‚ Production and Utilization Magnesium oxide is a basic or alkaline kind of earth metal that naturally originates from seawater. The compound is odorless and colorless that makes it difficult to see by the naked eye. To produce such compound‚ extraction from the seawater by electrolysis and several chemical processes id done. The compound is formed from the thermal processes which make uses of air and oxygen. Magnesium hydroxide is also produced. The versatility of uses of
