Copper Chloride Hydrate Lab Report
In order to find the formula of the copper chloride hydrate, we had to separate the compound to find the mass of water and copper. To begin this process, we evaporated the water and created an anhydrous compound, meaning we were left with only CuxCly. By calculating the weight of both the anhydrous and the hydrated compounds, we could conclude that the difference in the weights was the weight of the H2O. From this we were able to calculate the percent composition of CuxCly and H2O (see Calculations: Part I: Dehydration of Hydrated Copper Chloride), which showed how much of the compound was copper chloride by mass. Since there are only two stable forms of copper chloride, we concluded that possible formulas would be either CuCl or CuCl2. Intending

    1. A cutting can form an entire new plant if cutting being used has a meristem. If the cutting has no meristem, mitosis will not occur and you will end up with a dead piece of plant material. In order to successfully grow a new plant through a cutting, your plant must have adventitious root growth which in order to deliver water and nutrients to the plant. Adventitious roots are created through cell potency where cells differentiate. The hormone auxin is applied to where the cut was made, and promotes adventitious root growth. If your cutting has adventitious root growth and a meristem it shall form into an entire new plant.…

    The objective of this experiment was to identify the unknown pure copper salt compound of #9. To do this, the mass of copper in the unknown was calculated and then divided by the mass of the whole compound to get the percent copper. The molecular weight was also calculated by dividing mass of copper compound used by moles of compound in unknown sample. The percent copper averaged out to 31.6% while the molecular weight of the sample averaged out to 201.1mw. In conclusion, the unknown compound of pure copper salt was close to Cu(C2H3O2)2 •H2O which has a percent copper of 31.8% and a molecular weight of 199.654mw.…

    Blue Hydrate Lab Report

    Conclusion: The purpose of this lab was to visually see the chemical change that was taking place when hydrates gain and lose water.The formula for blue hydrate is anhydrous copper (ii) sulfate (CuSO4). The percent error for the mass of water is -94.40%. The effect of the hydrate not being heated long enough would result in water still being in the hydrate. If the test tube was not dried completely prior to the initial measurement it would cause the data to follow that incorrect measurement to be false and it would also add more water into the hydrate than what was initially projected. If the anhydride was allowed to sit over before the final mass measurement was taken it would result in more water loss from the hydrate. The moles of CuSO4…

    An ion is an atom or a molecule with a positive or a negative charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. Ionic solids are salts (such as NaCl) that are held together by a strong force of attraction between ions of opposite charge. Molecules are the smallest physical units of an element or a (chemical) compound. Ionic solids are also known as salts because salts are ionic compounds that are formed from a reaction between an acid and a base.…

    The mass percent of water was determined using the mass of water and dividing it by the total mass of the hydrate and then multiplying that answer by 100%. The number of moles of water in a hydrate was determined by taking the mass of the water released and dividing it by the molar mass of water. The number of moles of water and the number of moles of the hydrate was used to calculate the ratio of moles of water to moles of the sample. This ratio was then used to write the new and balanced equation of the dehydration process. The sample was then rehydrated to the original state and the percent of the hydrate recovered was calculated by using the mass of the rehydrated sample by the mass of the original hydrate and then multiplied by 100%.…
