A student used the procedure described in this module to determine the empirical formula of an oxide of titanium (Ti). A crucible and cover were heated to a constant mass of 34.749 g. The mass of the crucible, cover and sample of Ti was 36.383 g. Following the reaction of the Ti metal with Oxygen, the contents of the crucible, cover and reaction mixture was heated to a constant mass of 37.472 g.
