The Verification of the Molecular Formula and Percent Composition of the Compound Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Nice sounding title Date Performed Lab: 8/31/06 Purpose: 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

Joe Schmoe Period 3 March 8‚ 2013 Lab Report: Empirical Formula of Zinc Chloride (ZnCl) * Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to determine the empirical formula. Empirical means “based on experimental evidence.” * Experimental Design The reaction that occurred was the reaction of the elements Zinc (Zn) and Chloride (Cl) by mixing a piece(s) of Zinc and 50mL of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). The amount of Zinc was determined to be between 1.00g and 1.25g. As the reaction

Formal Lab Report #1 I. Basics Title of the Experiment: The Empirical Formula of an Oxide Authors: Section Number: Chemistry Location and Date II. Abstract The aim in this lab was to determine the empirical formula of an oxide of magnesium through combustion in air. This was achieved by heating an established mass of magnesium in air inside of a crucible‚ ultimately attaining a compound that contained Mg and O. The major result of the experiment was the empirical formula of the oxide of magnesium

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

Lab Report Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to see how magnesium reacts with oxygen. This reaction must be forced with heat. As magnesium changes to magnesium oxide the mass increased. Procedure: 1. Set up the stand and bunsen burne. 2. Go to crucible heat oven to obtain a crucible. 3. Weigh the crucible and lids mass. 4. Break up the magnesium ribbon on the crucible and weigh the mass of the magnesium‚ crucible‚ and lid. 5. Place the crucible on the ring stand over the flame. Allow

Lab Report 1 Introduction: Proper chemical formulas entitle many challenges such as the Law of Multiple proportions that states that there may be more than one plausible mole ratio for the elements in that compound. However if we determine the mass of each element in the compound we will be able to get the true chemical formula. In this experiment‚ we used the law of definite proportions to find the chemical formula for a hydrated compound containing copper‚ chlorine‚ and water molecules

Zinc oxide in a mixture with a about 0.5% iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) is called calamine and is used in calamine lotion. There are also two minerals‚ smithsonite and hemimorphite‚ which have been called calamine historically (see: calamine (mineral). Zinc peroxide‚ ZnO2 .½ H2O‚ is a white to yellow powder that is used in antiseptic ointments. Zinc white is used as a pigment in paints and is more opaque than lithopone‚ but less opaque than titanium dioxide. It is also used in coatings for paper

Chemistry Lab Report Water Hydration Introduction: A hydrated crystal or hydrated occurs when water becomes tightly attracted to a metal salt base on it’s polarity. The water molecules maintain integrity as molecules‚ however they are considered to be part of the formula of the hydrate. When the hydrate metal salt crystal is heated‚ the attractions to the water are broken by the heat energy and the water escape from the crystal. After heating the salt crystal is called as anhydrous‚ which

CHM1032L pre/post lab instructions Preparation is a key to success in this lab. For this reason‚ you are required to thoroughly read through the experiment information presented in the lab manual‚ and complete a pre-lab for each experiment you do. The prelab must be completed prior to the day of the experiment. Each Friday I will ask to see your completed prelab before I allow you to enter the lab. If you have not finished the pre-lab‚ I will not allow you to enter the lab and you will receive
