This investigation is about proving the formula of magnesium oxide by making magnesium oxide. The first reactant of the experiment is magnesium metal (Mg) and oxygen (O2), the oxygen will be in the air and provide oxygen atoms for the formation of magnesium oxide (MgO), which is the product of this experiment (In association with Nuffield Foundation). We are performing this experiment to improve our critical thinking skills as we will have to analyse the data and results to form conclusions, and
did we calculate and determine the mass of magnesium oxide? we Determined the mass of MgO (magnesium oxide) by subtracting the mass of the crucible with lid on from the mass, weight of the crucible with lid, and magnesium oxide. then in order to determine the oxygen mass, we will subtract the mass of the magnesium from the mg oxide to find out the amount of magnesium in the compound, divide the mass of Magnesium ( numbers of grams in one mole of magnesium we did the same way to find the amount of
The central purpose of this experiment was to determine the experimental empirical formula of an oxide of magnesium by performing a synthesis reaction. It was hypothesized that the formula that was derived from the recorded data would be identical to the theoretical empirical formula. After performing calculations with the data that had been collected within the duration of the experiment, it was deduced that the empirical formula of the product generated by the synthesis reaction was Mg5O6. Since

Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide - Lab Report Background Information/Introduction: The aim of this lab is to determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide by converting magnesium to magnesium oxide. As an alkali earth metal, magnesium reacts violently when heated with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide and magnesium nitride as a byproduct. In order to obtain only magnesium oxide, distilled water was added so that magnesium nitride will react and convert to magnesium hydroxide. Further heating
In the Brave New World, a book written by Aldous Huxley,, he writes about a utopian future where humans are genetically created and pharmaceutically anthesized. Huxley introduces three ideals which become the world's state motto. The motto that is driven into their dystopian society is “Community, Identity and Stability.” These are qualities that are set to structure the Brave New World. Yet, happen to contradict themselves throughout the story. Some of the characteristics of the Brave New World
The labs purpose is to determine magnesium oxides percent yield. In this lab we will create a chemical reaction when two solutions are mixed. Those two solutions are magnesium and oxygen in the reaction Mg + O2 MgO. After these two solutions are mixed, magnesium oxide is produced. The percent yield of magnesium oxide is calculated and reported in this activity. The percent yield is dependent variable and the product amounts is the independent variable in this experiment. Stoichiometry is a method
independently discovered oxygen, They were both able to produce oxygen by heating mercuric oxide (Hg0) . Oxygen is a highly reactive element and is capable of combining with other elements . It is required by most living organisms and for most forms of combustion . Oxygen and Magnesium combine in a chemical reaction to form this compound. When the magnesium metal burns it react with oxygen found in the air to form Magnesium Oxide. Mg loses the electrons to have an octet , Oxygen gains two electrons to have an
In order to create 5 grams of MgSO4 from MgO (Magnesium Oxide) and H2SO4 (Sulfuric acid), we needed to create a balanced equation to find the amount of other chemicals we would need. The balanced equation was MgO + H2SO4 --> MgSO4 + H2O. After creating a balanced equation, we found the amounts of MgO and H2SO4 using stoichiometry. The amount of Magnesium Oxide was 1.674 grams and the amount of Sulfuric acid was 6.923 milliliters. In order to create as close to 5 grams of MgSO4 as possible, we decided
with this information, the empirical formula can be determined. The lab consisted of obtaining a magnesium ribbon and having it undergo chemical reactions to create solid magnesium oxide with the aim being identifying the percent composition and empirical formula of the compound. Background Information : To determine magnesium oxide’s percent composition and empirical formula, the masses of magnesium and oxygen separately must be found and then divided by the total mass and multiplied by 100 to
Magnesium Oxide: Percent Composition and Empirical Formula Lab Report Andjela Mandic 10/28/14 Period 1 Purpose The purpose of this lab was to find the percent composition as well as the empirical formula of magnesium oxide. Data Mass Description Trial 1 (Emily’s Group) Trial 2 (Tom’s Group) Trial 3 (Sara’s Group) Mass of crucible, cover, & magnesium 38.8g 38.80g 37.446g Mass of crucible & cover 38.4g 33.52g 37.156g Mass of magnesium 0.34g 0.289g 0.29g Mass of crucible, cover, & magnesium oxide
smoothly. The first reaction was Magnesium ribbon in which we were able to examine it reacts when we put it under the flame. It is important to remember to use the tongs that are not prone to melt like the rubber pair I started to use. I quickly paused the experiment once I noticed the rubber tongs were gluing together. This minor mistake is avoidable and easy to fix. Our first conclusion was that magnesium burns to form new compounds. It reacts with oxygen to form oxides of each metal. This was an example

Abstract A method to transform carbonate into graphene using shock-wave loading is presented in this paper. Graphene was synthesized using a detonation-driven flyer impacting mixtures of calcium carbonate and magnesium. In addition, by adding ammonium nitrate to the reaction system, nitrogen-doped graphene was formed in a one-step shock wave treatment. The recovered samples were characterized using various techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction
of the reaction between Magnesium and different concentrations of HCL. Hypothesis: If the concentration of HCL increases, the rate of the reaction between HCL and Magnesium decreases. Scientific Explanation: In a reaction, particles of two different reactants react together to form a product. The reaction only takes place on account of two things, if the particles collide, and if the collision has enough 'activation energy'. The two reactant particles, in this case magnesium particles and hydrochloric
Reacting specific alkyl and aryl halides with magnesium metal will result an in organomagneisum compound known as a Grignard reagent (RMgX) (Ketcha, 155). To properly create a Grignard reagent, a few rules must be follow. First, aliphatic Grignard reagents are prepared by alkyl iodides, bromides and chlorides (Ketcha, 155). Aryl and vinylic Grignard reagents are prepared normally with iodides and bromides (Ketcha, 155). Second, “anhydrous, inert and basic (polar aprotic) solvent such as diethyl ether
The hardness of water reflects the nature of the geological formation with which it has been in contact. The major portion of total hardness is caused by calcium and magnesium ions and plays role in heart disease in human. The TH of the groundwater was calculated using the formula as given below (Sawyer and McCartly 1967). (1) Table 3: Groundwater classification based on total hardness (Sawyer and Mc Cartly 1967) Total Hardness as CaCO3 (mg/l) Classification Percentage of samples < 75 Soft
