Answer:
One of the errors for low percentage of magnesium could be because not all the magnesium may have reacted.
Explanation:
During the heating process, if the magnesium have not reacted completely, it can lead to low percentage of magnesium in the oxide formed. The product may still look a bit greyish rather than whitish after the heating process.
I am assuming you are talking about Neon. The rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the molar mass of the gas. Since neon has a molar mass of 20.18 grams, the gas must have a lower molar mass and must be a gas at 273 Kelvin. There are several elements that fulfill this criteria: Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Fluorine.
