Magnesium lab

Materials
Magnesium ribbon
Crucible
Ring stand & ring
Clay triangle
Laybratory bunner
Stirring rod
Crucible tongs
Centigram balance
100-ml beaker distilled water conductivity testers
The object of this lab is to observe the evidence of the chemical reaction. Then to acquire and analyze info that will enable you to decide if the compound has an ionic bond. Lastly to classify if the products is ionic or not ionic
Safety procedure
Wear your hair back in a pony tail
Goggle are to be worn
Wear shoes that cover ur toes
Do not wear baggy cloths.
Procedure
1: gather items
2: place the ring stand and ring on the laboratory burner
3: place clay triangle on ring stand
4: place the crucible on the clay triangle
5: light burner just so the flam is blue
6: place the magnesium strip in the crucible if it doesn't like u will gave to do it by hand. ( don't look into the light$
7: wait for the magnesium to stop burning and then weigh it ( the mass should drop
8: pour 5ml of distilled water into ur beaker and then stir for a minute
9: use the conductivity testers to see if it is conduct.

What kind of energy was released? An ionic energy.
Predict the binary formulas? MgO and MgN

What can you conclude about the product of this reaction? That it mixed with the oxygen and turned white

How do u know that the magnesium metal reacted with certain components in the air? By the color the light was or by what colors the lights should be

The magnesium reacted with both oxygen and nitrogen because of the color. Nitrogen gave of yellow witch u didn't really see and oxygen gave off white. So the reaction happened more with oxygen and magnesium than nitrogen and magnesium.

We had an problem in ours. We did not loss any mass nor did we gain any
