    Pre-Lab Discussion An empirical formula is a formula for a chemical compound found by direct laboratory examination. Laboratory procedures allow the chemist to find the simplest whole number ratio of elements within the compound. In order to find the true molecular formula‚ the chemist also needs to know the compound’s molecular mass. The general procedure is to use laboratory techniques to determine the mass of each element in the compound. In this lab‚ we will react a known quantity of magnesium

    CHEMISTRY EXPERIMENTAL REPORT SALLY LI INTRODUCTION: In chemistry‚ compounds can be distinguished by using the empirical formula. The formula provides the simplest positive integer ratio of elements in a compound. The empirical formula is largely useful in determining the ratio of elements within ionic compounds where the structure is of a non-directional nature of bonding where any ion at any time could be surrounded

    Heat of Formation of Magnesium Oxide Objetive: To determine the heat formation of MgO (Magnesium Oxide) using Hess’s Law‚ which states the heat within a chemical reaction is independent of the pathway between the initial and final states. Introduction: Chemical reactions require heat energy to complete‚ called an endothermic reaction‚ or produce heat energy‚ and thus called an exothermic reaction. The heat energy produced by such reactions can be measured using a calorimeter‚ a piece

    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

    The primary objective in the lab is to determine the molecular formula of Copper Oxide through synthesis of copper oxide. In the first procedure‚ an empty crucible‚ Bunsen Burner‚ and electronic scale were placed onto the workbench. The electronic scale was zeroed before the crucible was placed on it. The total mass of the empty crucible was 88.000g. Afterwards‚ 10 grams of copper powder was placed into the crucible and weighed to be 98.000 g. The crucible with the copper was placed onto the Bunsen
