Calculations: how 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 oxygen, where we divided the mass weight of oxygen with the numbers of grams in one mole of oxygen. and lastly in order to determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide we Used the molar ratio to determined it.
mass of Mg= o.122g mass of magnesium oxide=0.25 mass of magnesium oxide - mass of Mg + mass of O
0.25g= 0.122g + mass of O mass of O = 0.25g- 0.122g = 0.128g moles of Mg = 0.122g x 1 mol of Mg divided 24.30g Mg ( mass of magnesium) = 0.122 mol Mg moles of O = 0.25g O x 1 mol of O divided by 16g of O = 0.25 mol o the ratio = 1:1 there is one mol for mg for one mol of O, therefore there will be 1 atom of mg for 1 mol of oxygen. therefore the empirical formula of magnesium oxide is MgO.
Conclusion: the main purpose of this experiment is to determine the reaction and the magnesium oxide’s empirical formula which is when magnesium reacts with oxygen in the air. By reacting Mg( magnesium ) with O ( oxygen) in the air magnesium oxide will be produced
Next, we determined the mass of the penny by placing it on a balance. The mass of the penny was 2.47 grams. Afterwards, we placed the penny in a beaker filled with 20 mL of 6 M HCl. In the end we put the beaker in the fume hood and allowed it to sit overnight. During day two of the penny lab, we removed the penny skin from the beaker using tweezers.
(i.e., what was the evidence of reaction?) When the piece of magnesium come in contact with the flame, it ignited and emitted an intense bright white light. The light was so intense that it was painful to look at. Furthermore, after the metal was done burning the piece of magnesium changed color and consistency. Before the reaction it was a dull gray, malleable piece of metal.
To begin with, is the experimental process used to determine the identity of the rock. In doing so one will need to discover the density of the rock. By measuring the rock sample with grams per milliliter is a way used to figure out the density. In starting one will need to measure the mass of the rock using grams. Then using a set milliliter amount of a liquid substance, such as water, one will place the rock sample inside.

Molar Relationships: What Are the Identities of the Unknown Compounds? The purpose of the experiment was to identify unknown compounds using knowledge on the concept of mole. The guiding question for this experiment is what are the identities of the unknown compounds? The numbers of moles and the identities of the compounds are the only given. To be able to identify the compounds the mass, molar mass and the number of moles will be needed.

Using the equation m = ΔTf/Kf , the molality of the unknown solution was found. Then, moles of unknown were calculated, which was used to calculate the average molar mass of unknown. Theory: After the experiment was completed, the data
Molar mass is the mass (in grams) of one mole of a substance. Using the atomic mass of an element and multiplying it by the conversion factor grams per mole (g/mol), you can calculate the molar mass of that element. First, find the chemical formula for the compound. Then, calculate the relative atomic mass of each element in the compound. Next, calculate the molar mass of each element in the compound.
- A hydrate is a salt that contains water as a part of its crystal structure. The hydrate used in this lab was Copper (ll) Sulfate Pentahydrate. To heat the hydrate in this lab a crucible is needed. A crucible is a heat resistant container used to heat things to high temperatures. In this lab a mole was used to determine the measurements of all substances.
Stoichiometry is a method used in chemistry that involves using relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction, to determine a desired quantitative data. The purpose of the lab was to devise a method to determine the percent composition of NaHCO3 in an unknown mixture of compounds NaHCO3 and Na2CO. Heating the mixture of these two compounds will cause a decomposition reaction. Solid NaHCO3 chemically decomposes into gaseous carbon dioxide and water, via the following reaction: 2NaHCO3(s) Na2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g). The decomposition reaction was performed in a crucible and heated with a Bunsen burner.
Verna Wang Hannah Palmer CHEM 101-069 Lab 11-19-16 Stoichiometry and Limiting Reagents Lab Report Purpose: We are using the reaction of sodium hydroxide and calcium chloride to illustrate stoichiometry by demonstrating proportions needed to cause a reaction to take place. Background: Just like a recipe would call for a specific amount of one ingredient to a specific amount of another, stoichiometry is the same exact method for calculating moles in a chemical reaction. Sometimes, we may not have enough of or too much of one ingredient , which would be defined as limiting and excess reagent, respectively.
In the article “Where Are the Missing Masses? The Sociology of a Few Mundane Artifacts”, Bruno Latour explores how artifacts can be designed to shape human action and that technology mostly rely on human interaction to function. He argues that technologies shape the decisions we make, the effects our actions have, and the way we move through this world. Providing examples from the door closers, and engineers among others, Latour emphasize the importance of the interaction between humans and technology. He studies the relationship between humans (the creator) and machines (the creation) and shows how the use of technology can help achieve certain goals and values.
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 then oxidizes all of the magnesium into magnesium oxide.
Procedure A. Preparation of NaOH solution The molarity of a solution is the ratio of the number of solutes dissolved in a liter of solution. To figure out the needed mass (in grams) of NaOH pellets to be dissolved in a 0.25 L of water, remember that a mole is equivalent to the quotient of mass over the molar mass of the substance. This was used to rearrange the base formula and to derive the mathematical equation of mass in terms of molarity. mass (g) =
