Answer:
the melting process begins right away because the air temperature around the ice cubes is warmer than the temperature in the freezer
1) Compund Ir (x) O(y)
2) Mass of iridium = mass of crucible and iridium - mass of crucible = 39.52 g - 38.26 g = 1.26 g
3) Mass of iridium oxide = mass of crucible and iridium oxide - mass of crucible = 39.73g - 38.26g = 1.47g
4) Mass of oxygen = mass of iridum oxide - mass of iridium = 1.47g - 1.26g = 0.21g
5) Convert grams to moles
moles of iridium = mass of iridium / molar mass of iridium = 1.26 g / 192.17 g/mol = 0.00656 moles
moles of oxygen = mass of oxygen / molar mass of oxygen = 0.21 g / 15.999 g/mol = 0.0131
6) Find the proportion of moles
Divide by the least of the number of moles, i.e. 0.00656
Ir: 0.00656 / 0.00656 = 1
O: 0.0131 / 0.00656 = 2
=> Empirical formula = Ir O2 (where 2 is the superscript for O)
Answer: Ir O2
Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2

Explanation:
When magnesium ion doesn't give any characteristics colour with the flame test as electronic transisitons do not give out visible light.
