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

INVESTIGATION investigating the properties of Period 3 oxides Aim The purpose of this experiment is to examine the oxides of Period 3 elements and describe their bonding and structure. Introduction You carry out an investigation along similar lines to the work you did on the chlorides of the elements in Period 3 (Experiment 4.12). However‚ you will not be asked to test the oxides with cyclohexane because unlike the covalent chlorides‚ most of the oxides are not composed of discrete molecules. Therefore

Formula of a Hydrate Lab Wednesday October 29‚ 2014 Chemistry Honors Purpose This lab was done to determine the percentage of water in a hydrate‚ which was CuSO4 ?H20. Not only the percentage of water can be found‚ the moles of water can be found per one mole of anhydrous salt. An anhydrous salt is a hydrate that lost its water. Using various lab equipment such as burners‚ crucible‚ and balance‚ and techniques such as the mass-to-mole ratio and mass to percentage‚ the percentage of water in a hydrate

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

DETERMINATION OF THE CHEMICAL FORMULA FOR A HYDRATE USING MOLE RATIO OF WATER MASS AND MAGNESIUM SULPHATE INTRODUCTION Ionic (salt) compounds are able to hold loose bonds with water molecules. A hydrate is a compound that incorporates water molecules into its crystalline lattice structure (McGraw-Hill Ryerson‚ 2014). Identifying a compound as hydrated or anhydrous is important as the mass of the compound increases if it contains water molecules. In nature‚ hydrates exist with a fixed ratio

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.

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
