The empirical formula for silver oxide for trial one is Ag5O4 and for trial two is Ag3O2. For trial one there is 0.451 grams of silver were produced from 0.504 grams of silver oxide. For trial two there is 0.456 grams of silver were produced from 0.500 grams of silver oxide. The difference between the mass of silver oxide and mass of silver is the mass of oxygen that vaporized into the air. There are 0.053 grams of oxygen vaporized into the air for trial one and 0.456 grams’ oxygen for trial two.
The empirical formula is base on the ratio of moles of silver and the moles of oxygen. The empirical formula needs to show the simplest integer number. For trial one the ratio between moles of silver and moles of oxygen is 5/4, and the ratio between the moles of oxygen and moles of oxygen is 1. According to the law of empirical formula, there can not be a fraction in the formula. So, the empirical formula is Ag5O4.

The percent yield for trial one is 83.4% and for trial two is 84.9%. These results show the experiment was successes. One major factor that will affect the mass of silver that produces is the crucible was not heated enough at the beginning of the lab. There will be debris left in the crucible and some water molecules store in the crucible caused by a humid environment. This will increase the mass of oxygen production. Or during the measurement of the silver oxide, there will be ±0.001 grams of error. All those potential mistakes could affect the accuracy of the results. These uncertainties could increase by heating the crucible for a longer period. Clean the crucible and its lid before the lab, to make sure there are not any dust left in it. At the same time increase the time for heating the empty crucible and its lid. Also, the balance that with 0.0001 precision could be used for the future lab. However, the percent yield for these two trial are precise and the lab was
Empirical formulas represent the ratio of atoms in a formula. It is expressed in the simplest, small, whole number ratio. The molecular formula can either be the empirical formula, or a multiple of the empirical
) Suppose that some magnesium oxide smoke had escaped during the investigation, the Mg:O ratio would have increased from 58% to 72%. The final mass of MgO would have decreased because the magnesium oxide smoke is part of the product and when some of it escapes, it decreases the final mass.
Purpose: To determine the percent magnesium by mass in magnesium oxide and to observe if the percentage composition is constant by comparing class results.
e) As stated in the law of definite proportion the percentage composition of Magnesium oxide was approximately same for our classmates. The following table shows the results of two other groups.
The mole is a convenient unit for analyzing chemical reactions. Avogadro’s number is equal to the mole. The mass of a mole of any compound or element is the mass in grams that corresponds to the molecular formula, also known as the atomic mass. In this experiment, you will observe the reaction of iron nails with a solution of copper (II) chloride and determine the number of moles involved in the reaction. You will determine the number of moles of copper produced in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the number of moles of iron used up in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and determine the number of atoms and formula units involved in
The Empirical Formula is a formula that shows elements in a compound. The molecular formula gives the amount of atoms that each element has in a compound. These formulas were used to calculate and find elements that were given prior to the crash. The formulas also helped our team find out which passengers had each of the possible materials on the flight.
The following question refers to the following: The solubility of silver phosphate (Ag3PO4) at 25oC is 1.63e–5 mol/L.
D. A sample of gold (Au) has a mass of 26.15 g. Given that the theoretical density is 19.30 g/mL,
-If the copper metal is submerged in the silver nitrate solution then in reaction, a pure, solid (Ag) silver product is created with an excess of (Cu (NO3)2) copper (II) aqueous liquid because a single displacement reaction occurs where the balance equation is then
As we learned before on how to determine the empirical formula of a compound based on the test and also chemical analysis on it. Hence this experiment is mainly goes around with how to determine the empirical formula of Magnesium Oxide following various tight procedures in order to get the knowledge and apply it onto another compounds. We are investigating the empirical formula of Magnesium Oxide in this experiment.
Empirical formulas are to show the lowest whole number of an element in a compound. The empirical formulas were used to identify which victim was exposed to the substances found on the plane. Molecular formulas are used to show how many atoms of each element is present in a molecule of a molecular compound. The molecular formulas were used to identify the substances exposed on the plane. Both were very useful to identify the murderer, the victim, terrorist, and what caused the crash.
When heated in air, magnesium reacts spontaneously with oxygen, producing a bright white light. This combustion creates magnesium oxide. The empirical formula, the lowest whole number ratio of all atoms in a compound or

Gravimetry is an old technique which has been used for the determination and recovery of gold ever since its discovery. It is a process that has a minimal room for instrumental error and does not require standards for any calculation of the unknown that is being analyzed. The determination of gold besides gravimetry can either be titrimetry or instrumental, but these techniques requires gold standards for comparison of its results and concerns the determination of gold in small scale or trace amounts like that of atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The demand for gold is rapidly icreasing world wide and as of today, the standard test for its determination is Fire Assay ASTM E 1335-08 – a method that requires expertise, time, and can lead to a decrease in the sample’s amount. In this study, Gold – a rare metal known for its worth, value, and properties such as conductivity, malleability, and high reflective power was determime by proposing a new gravimetric method through gold’s reduction by hydroxylamine hydrochloride as an alternative to the standard test method called the fire assay. The researchers based all their calculations using an ISO standard guideline, EURACHEM/GUM.
Overall, the experiment succeeded that the metals show the theoretical properties. Differences existed in the mathematical calculation of the actual length. These differences, however, it can be accounted for by experimental error; more over there are uncertainty on purity of the
