Experiment to find the ratio of Magnesium to Oxygen in Magnesium Oxide Aim The aim of this experiment was to find the amount of carbon dioxide given off when reducing copper carbonate to copper oxide. You must find the amount of products and reactants. To do this it is possible to use the following method Method Equipment: * Test tube * Five spatula's of copper carbonate * Electric balance * Bunsen burner * Spatula * Test tube tongs * Test tube holder Instructions: 1. Select a test tube. 2. Clean the test tube to make sure that there will be no other reactants inside the test tube other than what is required. 3. Using the electric balance weigh the complete test tube, be careful not to allow the test tube to roll of and smash. 4. Measure five spatula's of copper carbonate. Place the five spatula's of copper carbonate inside the test tube. 5. Again using the electric balance now measure the complete test tube including the...
