Finding the Formula of Magnesium Oxide Prediction I predict that the more magnesium burned the more magnesium oxide will be formed. Analysis I can see a pattern in my results. The pattern is a strong positive correlation. The reason for the pattern is that the more magnesium burned, the more magnesium oxide is formed. This is a fixed ration, if the amount of magnesium burned doubles the so will the amount of Magnesium Oxide. For example, in the graph Magnesium of the mass 0.5g is burned to form 0.08g of Magnesium Oxide. If the amount of Magnesium burned is doubled to 0.10g then so does the mass of Magnesium Oxide which doubles to 0.16g. The empirical formula of magnesium oxide is Other evidence to support my formula for Magnesium Oxide is the Ionic Bonding of the substance. This shows how the Magnesium and Oxygen atoms bond together. Evaluation I thought the method was a good way of carrying...
