For this lab, my peers and I gathered into groups and put a 25 cm piece of Magnesium into a crucible, which we soon heated to a burn. The ashes of the chemical were collected and mixed in some water. The compound was tested and would tell us the conductivity of Magnesium.
Mass Data
Material(s) Mass (g)
Empty Crucible................................................................. 26.40g
Crucible and Mg Ribbon
before eating..................................................................... 26.23g
Magnesium Ribbon.............................................................. .19g
Crucible and Mg products
after heating...................................................................... 26.34g
Magnesium Products........................................................ 94.24g
Beaker............................................................................... 82.7g
Conductivity...................................................................... LOW
According to this experiment's data, Magnesium has a low conductivity!
