Question for Empirical Formula LabEquationsmass Mg + mass O2 = mass Mgx OyDataMagnesium weighing: 0.3 gMass of crucible and lid: 18.43 gMass of the crucible crucible lid and the magnesium: 18.73 gMass of the crucible cover and product: 18.85 gAnswer four Question:Use your data to calculate the mass of magnesium and the mass of oxygen or nitrogen in the product.Use the masses from question 1 to calculate the percent composition (%Mg and %O or %N) of the product.The literature value for the %Mg in this magnesium-oxygen compound is 60.3%. Use this value to calculate the percent error of your experimental %Mg. Comment on your degree of accuracy. Is your %Mg value too large or too small? What experimental errors might specifically account for this type of deviation? (This requires some in-depth analysis of how errors in your original data would affect your final answer causing it to be too large or too small. It often helps to work backwards through your calculations. Then you need to think about what might have happened during the experiment to create these errors. This requires higher-order thinking skills but you can do it! Use your brain!)
