Guidelines for the Empirical Formula Lab Formal Report
Introduction (explain the following concepts)
• The mole
• Molar mass
• Law of Constant Composition
• Empirical Formula
• Reaction with O2
Tables/ Graphs
• Clearly summarize all relevant data
Discussion
When possible, incorporate the answers to the post lab questions into your report. The answers
don’t necessarily need to be included in the discussion section.
• Empirical Formula
• Observation of the reaction
Conclusion
• The actual empirical formula is MgO – explain any differences
• Error analysis
