Stuart Moody 11CR Magnesium Oxide Investigation Introduction: When magnesium is heated it reacts with the oxygen that is in the air around it, the magnesium changes from an element to a compound and new ionic bonds are formed between magnesium and oxygen atoms. The new compound is called magnesium oxide and is a white powder; the mass of the magnesium oxide is greater than that of the magnesium. We want to investigate this reaction; the purpose of our investigation is to find out the relationship between the mass of magnesium heated and the mass of oxygen, which has reacted with it. The reaction we will see is between magnesium and oxygen in order to produce magnesium oxide we then want to find a formula for this reaction. Plan: We are going to repeat our experiment a number of times with differing masses of magnesium in order to get a wider range of results which we...
