experiment to find formula of magnesium oxide
• weigh pure magnesium • heat in crucible to form magnesium oxide (reacts w/ air) • weigh mass of magnesium oxide oxygen mass = mass MgO - mass Mg calculate ratio of mol Mg to mol O - form empirical formula
molecular formula
number of atoms of each element in a compound
empirical formula
simplest whole number ratio of elements
molecular formula calculation
• find elements RFM • Mr/RFM • answer x empirical formula
