    Percent Yield

    Instructions: Complete all sections of this report and answer all questions in complete sentences
    for full credit.

    Title:percent yield lab

    Objective(s): To determine whether the given reaction creates a valuable commercial


    product by determining the percent yield of magnesium oxide

    Hypothesis: None

    Materials: What scientific equipment and tools were used to collect data in the simulation?
    (Record the materials as you work through the simulation.)

    Materials

    Variables: Remember the three variables: controlled (what is kept the same), independent (what
    is tested or changed), and dependent (what is the outcome or observed). List variables below as
    you work through the simulation.

    Type Variables

    Controlled

    Independent Amount of magnesium

    Dependent

    Procedure: Clear steps are in the simulation. No written procedure is needed for this virtual
    experience. However, it is important that you understand the experimental design of this lab for
    the conclusion section.

    Data

    Type the data in the data table below. Don't forget to record measurements with the correct
    number of significant figures and units.

    Data Trial 1 Trial 2


    Mass of empty crucible with lid 26.687 26.690
    Length of ribbon cut
    Mass of Mg metal, crucible, and lid 26.939 26.995
    Mass of MgO, crucible, and lid 27.099 27.190

    Calculations

    Show your calculations for each of the following. Remember, calculations should follow rules
    for significant figures.

    Remember to use the balanced chemical reaction: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s).

    1. Subtract the mass of the crucible and lid (row 1 in the chart) from the total mass of Mg,
    crucible, and lid (row 2 in the chart) to find the mass of magnesium for each trial.
     Trial 1:.253

     Trial 2:.327

    2. Subtract the mass of the crucible and lid (row 1 in the chart) from the total mass of MgO,
    crucible, and lid (row 3 in the chart) to find the mass of magnesium oxide for each trial. This
    is the actual yield of magnesium oxide for each trial.
     Trial 1:

     Trial 2:

    3. Magnesium is the limiting reactant in this experiment. Calculate the theoretical yield of
    MgO for each trial using stoichiometry.
     Trial 1:

     Trial 2:

    4. Determine the percent yield of MgO for your experiment for each trial.
     Trial 1:

     Trial 2:

    5. Determine the average percent yield of MgO for the two trials.

    Conclusion

    Using complete sentences, write a conclusion that addresses the following:

     The purpose of the lab, what you explored, what you learned
     An explanation of how percent yield can be affected during experimentation
     A description of the sources of errors that impacted your data measurements

    Post-Lab Connection Questions

    Answer questions in complete sentences.

    1. In physical labs, when conducting this experiment, sometimes the metal is heated and
    cooled for several rounds. After each round, the mass is recorded. This continues until the
    mass measurements remain the same. Explain the purpose of this process and how it
    might reduce errors.

    2. Imagine a company producing MgO with the same cost of materials as in this lab. The
    company averages a 92 percent yield for MgO. Would you recommend the company to
    continue their process or update? Support your recommendation using your calculations
    and understanding of stoichiometry from this lab.
