3. Experimental Yield of Magnesium Oxide = Mass of Magnesium Oxide and the crucible
after trial two Mass of crucible
0.21g MgO = 12.41g MgO 12.20g
Experimental Yield of MgO
100
4. Percent Yield of Magnesium Oxide = Theoretical Yield of MgO
120% =
0.21 g MgO
0.18 g MgO
100
Conclusion:
The experiment resulted in the synthesis of 0.11g of Magnesium with an excess amount of
Oxygen to form 0.21 grams of magnesium oxide. The percent yield of this lab was 120%
because the theoretical yield was 0.18g while the experimental yield was 0.21 grams.
Sources of Error:
There were two sources of error that could have been made during the stoichiometry lab. The
percent yield could have been over one-hundred percent because the triple-beam-balance may
not have been zeroed properly. In addition, the crucible may have been too hot when the
measurement was taken. This could have resulted in an inaccurate mass due to convection.
