### Experimental Data and Calculations: Oxidation of Magnesium

In this experiment, we aim to determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide by oxidizing magnesium and subsequently measuring relevant masses.

#### Given Data and Calculations:

**(a) Weight of empty crucible:**
\[ 16.400 \, \text{g} \]

**(b) Weight of crucible + magnesium:**
\[ 16.752 \, \text{g} \]

**(c) Weight of magnesium in crucible:**
\[ \text{Calculated as} \]
\[ 16.752 \, \text{g} - 16.400 \, \text{g} = 0.352 \, \text{g} \]

**(d) Weight of crucible after heating:**
\[ 17.015 \, \text{g} \]

**(e) Weight of magnesium oxide present:**
\[ \text{Calculated as} \]
\[ 17.015 \, \text{g} - 16.400 \, \text{g} = 0.615 \, \text{g} \]

**(f) Weight of oxygen absorbed by magnesium:**
\[ \text{Calculated as} \]
\[ 0.615 \, \text{g} - 0.352 \, \text{g} = 0.263 \, \text{g} \]

#### Mole Calculations:

**(g) Moles of magnesium used:**
\[ \frac{0.352 \, \text{g}}{24.305 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.01448 \, \text{mol} \]

**(h) Moles of oxygen absorbed:**
\[ \frac{0.263 \, \text{g}}{16.00 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.01644 \, \text{mol} \]

#### Ratio Calculation:

**(i) Ratio of magnesium to oxygen:**
\[ \frac{0.01448 \, \text{mol Mg}}{0.01644 \, \text{mol O}} = 0.87962 \simeq 1.00 \]

#### Percent Error Calculation:

**(j) Percent error in experiment:**
\[ \text{% Error} = \frac{\lvert 0.87962 -
