Sean Dowling Julia Phaltankar Mrs. Oakes Chemistry w/ Algebra 10/G February 18‚ 2015 Determining Empirical Formula Lab Introduction: One can find an empirical formula by taking a sample of a compound and dividing the number of moles of one element in the compound by the number of moles of another element in the compound to form a small wholenumber formula. For example‚ in a sample of a made up compound of oxygen and lead‚ one mole of lead has a molar mass of 207.2 g/mole‚ and oxygen

Lab of Determining an Empirical Formula B2 Honors 12/18/13 Abstract In this lab‚ to help better understand the concepts of gram atomic masses and empirical formulas‚ we found the gram atomic masses and empirical formula of a binary compound. The two compounds should form a definite whole number ratio by mass. This ratio will also help determine the subscripts of the elements in the empirical formula. Errors in this experiment can stem from measuring wrong or doing equations incorrectly.

A) January 18‚ 2011B) Empirical Formula C) The purpose is to determine the empirical formula of a metallic oxide. D) Pre Lab Questions: After heating the metal‚ the crucible and contents should mass less than it did before it was heated. This is because heating the crucible may rid of other residue that was left in it; bringing it a to a constant mass. A yellow flame will deposit soot on the crucible. This would be a problem because the soot left on the crucible would vary from our constant

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

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 of Magnesium Oxide is obtained by heating

Melissa Carrithers 9-17-14 Period: 6 Determination of the Empirical Formula of Silver Oxide Purpose: To find the percent composition and empirical formula of silver oxide can then be calculated‚ based on combining the ratios of silver and oxygen in the reaction. Hypothesis: Silver oxide decomposes to silver metal and oxygen when strongly heated. Heating Silver oxide causes the oxygen to be driven off‚ leaving only the silver metal behind. The total mass of the products of a chemical reaction must
