Report (Magnesium Oxide) INTRODUCTION: As we learned before on how to determine the empirical formula of a compound based on the test and also chemical analysis on it. Hence this experiment is mainly goes around with how to determine the empirical formula of Magnesium Oxide following various tight procedures in order to get the knowledge and apply it onto another compounds. We are investigating the empirical formula of Magnesium Oxide in this experiment. RESEARCH QUESTION: How empirical formula

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 for Magnesium

The purpose of this lab was to find the empirical formula for magnesium oxide. To find this formula‚ a strip of Magnesium ribbon was burned in a crucible over a flame from a bunson burner. After the strip caught fire multiple times with the cover on‚ and 10 drops of distilled water were added‚ and the crucible was lightly heated. The crucible was then weighed and the mass recorded. Calculations were performed and the mole ratio of Mg to O was recorded. The results of other lab groups performing

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

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

Aim: to perform a firsthand investigation to compare the physical and chemical properties of magnesium and oxygen when they are experimented to form magnesium oxide Theory: The empirical formula of a compound is the formula that tells us the ratio in which the atoms are present in the compound. To calculate an empirical formula: - Write down the masses of all of the elements present - Convert masses to moles (by dividing by atomic weights in grams) - Divide through by the smallest number of
