Copper Chloride Lab Report
Introduction This lab proposed the question of what happens when copper chloride and iron are combined and what is the balanced equation.By completing this lab, the goal was to determine the equation and product for the reaction of iron (Fe) and copper chloride (CuCl2). It was predicted either solid iron or solid copper would form.
Methods
To begin, 6.00026 grams of copper chloride was dissolved in 50ml of distilled water in order to have a solution with charged iron and chlorine atoms. Then, 6.36 grams of iron, in the form of four iron nails, were added to the solution of copper chloride and distilled water to start the reaction, and was placed under a range hood. After 48 hours, the solution containing the nail was removed from under the
