Empirical Formula of a Compound * Purpose: To determine the empirical formula of Magnesium Chloride. * Data 1. Mass of evaporating dish = 45.08g 2. Mass of evaporating dish and Magnesium = 45.17g 3. Mass of Magnesium: { 2 } – { 1 } = 0.09 4. Mass of evaporating dish and Magnesium Chloride First weighing = 45.48g (After heating and cooling) second weighing = 45.49g 5. Mass of Magnesium Chloride: { 4} – { 1 } = 0.41g

In the play‚ Macbeth‚ William Shakespeare develops the idea that the world we see is perceived through our own interpretations‚ right or wrong the reality is twisted through our thoughts and actions. The play develops the idea that illusions are hard
