    Data & Calculation


    m = mass crucible + cover (g) 39.236
    1
    m = mass of crucible + cover + Magnesium (g) 39.456
    2

    m = mass of crucible + cover + Magnesium Oxide (g) 39.592


    3
    Mass of Magnesium used (g)= m – m 0.22
    *
    2 1
    Mass of Magnesium Oxide formed (g)= m – m * 0.356
    3 1

    Mass of Oxygen in Magnesium Oxide (g) * 0.136

    Moles of Magnesium (M = 24.305 g/mol) * 9.05 x 10-3

    Moles of Oxygen (M = 15.999 g/mol) * 8.50 x 10-3

    Empirical formula for Magnesium Oxide * MgO

    Percentage of Oxygen in Magnesium Oxide * 38.5 %

    Percentage of Oxygen based on formula * 39.7 %

    Percentage error (error %) * 3.02%


    *show calculation

    1
    mass of Magnesium used (g) = (39.456 ) – (39.236 ) = 0.22

    mass of Magnesium Oxide formed (g) = (39.592 ) –(39.592 ) = 0.356

    mass of Oxygen in Magnesium Oxide (g) = ( 0.356 ) – ( 0.22 ) =0.136

    1mol
    Moles of Magnesium = ( 0.22) × =9.05 x 10-3
    24.305

    1mol
    Moles of Oxygen = ( 0.136) × = 8.50 x 10-3
    15.999

    9.05 x 10−3 8.50 x 10−3


    Empirical formula for Magnesium Oxide = Mg :O → Mg( 1)O( 1)
    8.50 x 10−3 8.50 x 10−3

    0.136 100% = 38.5 %


    Percentage of Oxygen in Magnesium Oxide= ×
    0.356

    2 Mg + O2 → MgO
    Mw of MgO = 16 + 24.305=40.3

    16
    Percentage of Oxygen based on formula= × 100% = 39.7 %
    40.3

    ¿ 39.7−38.5
    Percentage error =¿ Theriotical−Expermintal∨ Theriotical ¿ x 100% = = 3.02%
    39.7

    Questions2 :
    That’s lead too little % of O2 that may some of waste prevent Mg to react with O2
