Burning Magnesium Lab Purpose: To experimentally determine the percent composition of a reaction product. Directions: Work in teams of three. The directions for this lab are on a separate sheet of paper at your lab bench. Make sure that everyone in your group understands the process and purpose before you get started. Assign tasks. Everyone in the group will be expected to contribute at the same level of participation‚ and for this experiment‚ each individual will submit a formal lab report

Radha Shukla Determination of the Empirical Formula of Silver Oxide Will/Radha College Chemistry 9/12 – 9/13 9/17 The purpose of this lab is to use one of the ways to identify different compounds and be able to tell them apart. Based off of experimentation‚ the empirical formula of the given silver oxide will be determined. Materials: Chemicals: Silver Oxide‚ 0.5g Equipment: Balance‚ 0.001-g or 0.0001-g precision Bunsen Burner Clay pipestem triangle Crucible and cubicle lid‚ 15-

In this experiment‚ we have silver oxide and by using a bunsen burner‚ we will drive off all of the oxygen in the compound. We will do this by heating the silver oxide until the substance’s mass stays constant to know when all of the oxygen possible has been driven out. This process will occur through a series of heating and remassing. Silver oxide has many uses from batteries to military purposes. In a silver-zinc battery‚ silver oxide acts as the cathode and zinc as the anode. This battery is

The Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide. Focus Question – Can the mass of magnesium combusted in excess oxygen be used to determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide? Hypothesis – Combustion of Magnesium will generate data which can be used to calculate the EF of Magnesium Oxide Experimental Report: Data Collection and Processing Qualitative Observations: * The Magnesium burnt with a very bright flame. (as seen in figure 2 below) * White smoke was formed and some

Mass of Magnesium(Mg) (g) | Volume of Hydrogen (H₂) (cm³) | 1st trial | 0.040 | 39.9 | 2nd trial | 0.040 | 40.3 | 3rd trial | 0.035 | 36.5 | Quantitative data: The Magnesium was silvery-white‚ lustrous and relatively flexible before being placed in the burette. Whilst reacting with the hydrochloric acid‚ it dissolved and bubbles were visible. The hydrochloric acid slowly diffused downwards. Calculations: Volume of un-diffused hydrochloric acid = 25 cm³ Average mass of magnesium = 0.038

iLab‚ Week # 3 ATOMIC WEIGHT OF MAGNESIUM LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab experiment is to determine the atomic weight of magnesium by measuring the amount of hydrogen gas evolved when hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium. The reaction is as followed: Mg + 2HCL H2 + Mg2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) In this experiment there is a one to one relationship between the number of moles of hydrogen gas evolved and the moles of magnesium metal consumed in the reaction. Therefore in the finding of

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

INVESTIGATION investigating the properties of Period 3 oxides Aim The purpose of this experiment is to examine the oxides of Period 3 elements and describe their bonding and structure. Introduction You carry out an investigation along similar lines to the work you did on the chlorides of the elements in Period 3 (Experiment 4.12). However‚ you will not be asked to test the oxides with cyclohexane because unlike the covalent chlorides‚ most of the oxides are not composed of discrete molecules. Therefore

For this experiment me and my lab partner didn’t finish the experiment. We only end up to adding the magnesium sulfate. We added so much magnesium sulfate‚ and ended up drying the whole product without any liquid left. We were trying to do the procedure all over again but‚ we will ended up to not finishing the experiment still due to time constrain. I will try to explain the possibility what will happen up to the end of the experiment. After measuring the 10ml graduated cylinder‚ which is 27.27g

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
