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.
