It is a Physical property because like water it changes into a ice cube but it can be melted into water or be turned back into an ice cube.
Magnesium silicate is a compound of magnesium oxide and silicon. It is the magnesium salt of silicic acid containing an unspecified amount of water. The molecular formula can be expressed more clearly as MgSiO3.
To determine the empirical formula of the compound, we assume a basis of 100 g of this compound. We calculate as follows:
C = 68.75 g
H = 10.90 g
O = 20.35 g
We convert these mass to moles,
C = 68.75 g / 12.01 g/mol = 5.72 mol
H = 10.90 g / 1.01 g/mol = 10.79 mol
O = 20.35 g / 16 g/mol = 1.27 mol
C = 5.72 mol / 1.27 mol = 5
H = 10.79 mol / 1.27 mol = 8
O = 1.27 mol / 1.27 mol = 1
