Formula and Percent Composition of the Compound Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Nice sounding title Date Performed Lab: 8/31/06 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to confirm the chemical formula of magnesium oxide by comparing the masses of pure magnesium solid prior to any reaction and magnesium oxide solid after a reaction between all of the magnesium and oxygen from the air when heated from a Bunsen burner in a crucible. Using molar masses of both magnesium and oxygen‚ an expected percent composition

The Synthesis and Determination of Empirical Formula for Magnesium Oxide Aim: To determine the empirical formula for magnesium oxide. Data Collection: Table 1 Mass of empty crucible‚ crucible + Mg (roughly 1cm pieces of a 15-cm piece of magnesium ribbon)‚ and crucible +MgxOy. (mass measured with an analytical balance). The mass of crucible + MgxOy was obtained after a continuous process of heating‚ letting cool‚ heating with water enough to immerse the content and letting cool of the Mg. Mass

Maria Reyes iLab‚ Week #3 ATOMIC WEIGHT OF MAGNESIUM LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine the atomic weight of magnesium by measuring the amount of hydrogen gas evolved when hydrochloric acid reacted with magnesium. In order to measure the atomic weight I needed to measure the amount of the hydrogen gas that was evolved in reaction to the acid of the magnesium. The reaction used was: Mg + 2HCl --> H2 + Mg2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq). The major findings of this experiment were that

EXPERIMENT 6 – Empirical Formula of a Compound INTRODUCTION Chemical formulas indicate the composition of compounds. A formula that gives only the simplest ratio of the relative number of atoms in a compound is the empirical formula or simplest formula. The ratio usually consists of small whole numbers. We call a formula that gives the actual numbers of each type of atom in a compound the molecular formula. The numbers in a molecular formula will be whole number multiples of the numbers in an empirical

Calcium‚ Magnesium‚ and Cytoplasmic Streaming in Physarum Polycephalum Eugenia Rita Lee Dr. Bonner BIO 111 Introduction: Physarum polycephalum is a type of slime mold of the myxogastria class that prefers warm and damp conditions. It can go through three forms‚ plasmodium‚ sclerotium‚ and sporangia. The plasmodium is the primary active state‚ where P. polycephalum consists of protoplasmic veins and multiple nuclei. During this stage‚ the slime mold surrounds its’ food and secretes enzymes

Syl Rogers Bio 210 Comparing Fermentation Rate of the S. cerevisiae Yeast in the presence of MgSO4‚ NaF and Sodium Pyruvate Hypothesis In the fermentation of rate of yeast‚ S. Cerevisiae‚ there will be a higher/ faster rate of ethanol production‚ However‚ using catalytic enzymes would make the rate more faster‚ and MgSo4 will have a higher rate of CO2 than that of NaF and Sodium pyruvate as it act as a more better catalytic enzyme than the others.
