Experiment Testing Mathematical Accuracy Against Practical Aim: Comparing the results of an experiment firstly calculated using mathematical methods to predict a theoretical mass of the product, them comparing this to the result obtained by doing the experiment practically. Prediction: I predict that the mathematical calculation will have be different to that of the actual result from doing the practical, because in the mathematical calculations we do not allow for the atmospherical variables and other variations such as the contamination of beakers and equipment. Apparatus: * Lid * Crucible * Magnesium Ribbon * Pipe-Clay Triangle * Heat proof mat * Tripod * Spatula * Scales * Tongs Apparatus set-up: Method: 1. Find out the mass of the empty crucible and lid by placing onto the scales collectively, record mass to 2 decimal places. 2. Take a length of Magnesium Ribbon and coil it. 3. Place the magnesium ribbon in the crucible with lid and weigh. (The difference between the mass of the empty crucible with lid and the crucible with...
