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

Empirical Formula Lab Class: Chemistry 1405 Fall 2013 Aim: The aim of this Lab Exercise is to use the mass of a chemical and use that mass to find the amount of moles of the final product you can get using the empirical formula. Introduction: The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in the compound‚ which as you will discover‚ is a ratio of the moles of those elements. “Empirical” also means “experimentally determined”. In this experiment

heat evolved when magnesium reacts with dilute acids. Planning What I am going to do I am going to find out how much heat is given out when magnesium reacts with a variety of dilute acids. In order to make comparisons between the acids‚ I shall use my results to work out how much heat would be given out if 1 mole of magnesium reacted with an excess of each acid. The acids I shall use are hydrochloric acid‚ sulphuric acid‚ nitric acid and ethanoic acid. What I already know Magnesium reacts with most

Purpose: To determine the percent magnesium by mass in magnesium oxide and to observe if the percentage composition is constant by comparing class results. Hypothesis/Prediction: The percent composition by mass of magnesium in magnesium oxide will not change significantly with each group that conducted the experiment. The composition of each substance should stay the same and any differences must be due to some error.

Beryllium and magnesium These are just like the reactions with dilute hydrochloric acid‚ and you have probably been familiar with the reaction between magnesium and dilute sulphuric acid almost since you started doing chemistry. Bubbles of hydrogen are formed‚ together with colourless solutions of beryllium or magnesium sulphate. For example: Calcium‚ strontium and barium Calcium sulphate is sparingly soluble‚ and you can think of strontium and barium sulphates as being insoluble
