(Determining the empirical formula of Magnesium Oxide by assuming that the mass of magnesium for your experiment is 0.75g. Burning product of magnesium is 0.80g.
From the two numbers, calculate the mass of oxygen and find the mole ratio and based on the ratio write the chemical formula of magnesium oxide. In the conclusion ,identify the account of your errors by comparing your experimental results with the theoretical result.
This experiment is focusing on how to determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide by assigning numerical data. The calculated Hypothetical experimental data will be compared to the theoretical formula of magnesium oxide, and students will be expected to analyze the account of the errors.
