Lesson details
Lesson outcome
I can describe a safe experiment to calculate the reacting molar ratios for the oxidation of magnesium.
Show transcript
Heating magnesium in a crucible will react it with oxygen.
The crucible must be opened periodically to ensure enough oxygen enters the vessel to completely oxidise the magnesium.
Opening the crucible too much will cause mass/product loss.
Safety precautions should be taken when burning magnesium because of the bright light produced.
The stoichiometry for a reaction can be calculated given experimental data.
