Burning Magnesium Morgan Vanderpool

The first picture is a picture of just crucible without the magnesium inside. The mass is 23.02. The second picture is a picture of the set up after the magnesium is added to the crucible and the Bunsen burner is underneath the tripod heating the crucible. The third picture is a picture of the the magnesium added to the crucible its mass is 23.19. The fourth picture is a picture of some materials you will need during the burning of the magnesium. The fifth picture is a picture of tongs that you will use in case the magnesium does not lit fire. You will use the tongs to lift the lid off of the crucible and pick up the magnesium to put the magnesium under the fire to light it. If it lights then look out of the corner of your eye to put the magnesium back into the crucible because the light is very bright and could hurt your eyes. Speaking of your eyes showing you in the second to the last picture make sure to have your safety eye glasses on at all times. Also in the picture is a hair tie so if you have long hair you need to put it up. In the last picture is of the magnesium all burned up in the crucible weighing 23.18
