Experiment 1: Perform a Synthesis Reaction
Lab Results
1. Record the following values in the table below.
(a) mass of empty crucible (g)
(b) mass of crucible and Mg (g) before heating
88.000
93.000
Data Analysis
1. Record the following values in the table below.
(a) mass of the "unknown" product and crucible after heating (g)
(b) change in mass (g)
8.289
increased by 3.289
2. Where did the extra mass come from? (Hint: The final product is magnesium oxide)
3. Assuming all the magnesium reacted in the reaction, what is the total mass of product formed?
