H2so4 Reaction Lab
3. H2SO4 reacts with Zinc and not Copper because Zinc belongs to the group 12 elements on the activity series that are above hydrogen on the activity series, meaning that they will displace hydrogen from any acid solution. Applying this information to the lab, H2SO4(aq)reacts with only Zinc, because there is a greater gap between Hydrogen and Zinc than there is between Hydrogen and Copper. So the two elements react faster, neutralizing the H2SO4(aq)quickly, stopping the chance of H2SO4(aq)reacting with copper.

4. Yes, another metal could have been used instead of Zinc in step ten. Any metal that is above Copper in the activity series could have been used because the purpose of the metal was to displace Copper from the compound CuSO4 so copper

    Chemical Reactions Lab

    Objectives: 1. To examine a variety of reactions including precipitation, acid-base, gas forming, and oxidation-reduction reactions. 2. To identify the products formed in these reactions and summarize the chemical changes in terms of balanced chemical equations and net ionic equations. 3. To identify the species being oxidized and reduced in oxidation-reduction reactions and determine which species is the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. Chemical equations represent what occurs in a chemical reaction. For example, the equation HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) describes an acid-base reaction, a type of exchange reaction in which the driving force is the formation of water. In an exchange reaction, the…

    Chemical Reactions Lab

    Reaction 1, we start with 0.503 g copper metal that dissolves in 5.0 mL of concentrated nitric acid. This is an example of redox as a transfer of electrons is occurring. The second part of the reaction allows the nitrate ion to oxidize the copper. Reaction two, while stirring 20 mL of 6.0 M NaOH was added to the flask. Hydroxide ion binds to the copper (II). This is an example of metathesis as the cations and anions exchange partners. Reaction Three, Heating the copper hydroxide to a medium boil on the hotplate while occasionally stirring produces copper oxide. Heating allows for decomposition. It also allows the copper to oxidize. 50 mL of hot water was added three times and then decanted the supernatant solution. Reaction 4, Copper oxide is dissolved with 5 mL of 6.0M Sulfuric Acid. This allows the Oxygen to bind with to water and allow the Copper (II) ion to reform. Reaction 5, 1.0 g of 30-mesh Zinc is added. Start with half and add remain half of zinc until solution lacks the blue hue. Followed by adding 10 mL of concentrated HCl. This should eliminate the zinc through gas form decant the liquid and heat until copper is dry. Weigh out the flask + copper. Then determine the percent…

    This aim of this experiment was to determine whether or not a chemical reaction occurred after the mixing of various chemicals. The evolution of a gas, the formation of precipitation, and the change of temperature or color are all indicative of a chemical reaction. It was assumed that a reaction did not take place if the mixture of chemicals exhibited none of these characteristics. Several precipitation, complex-ion formation, redox, and acid-base reactions were performed.…

    The Copper Cycle

    In order to create successful chemical reactions, we followed the procedures properly. We started with a small amount of cooper powder in a beaker, and added nitric acid to it while the beaker was under a fume hood. We removed the beaker as soon as it was safe to and next we added 25mL of water to the current blue solution. We then added sodium hydroxide to the beaker and then proceeded to place the beaker on to a hotplate and stir the solution with a stirring rod. We then removed the beaker with tongs off of the hotplate and filtered the solution with a filter paper and funnel. The next day, after the solid had dried onto the filter paper, we scraped the solid off and into the beaker with a spatula. We then added sulfuric acid and zinc, respectively, into the beaker. We stirred the solution and our final step was getting rid of the liquid waste and observing the copper powder at the bottom of our beakers.…

    Prior to begin the experiment, preparation for some solutions is required to enhance the lab performance. The solutions needed are standardized potassium bromate, standardized sodium thiosulfate, and starch indicator. First, to prepare a starch indicator, pulverize 1g of soluble starch and add 15mL of water to make it as a paste-like substance. Dilute it with about 500mL of boiling water, and continue to heat until the mixture becomes clear. Cool it to room temperature and save it into a stoppered bottle.…

    Compare The Reaction Between Aluminum And Hydrochloric Acid

    Some metals react with acids while others do not. In this experiment, students will perform 2 reactions: aluminum/zinc with excess 6M hydrochloric acid and aluminum-zinc alloy with excess 6M hydrochloric acid. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the atomic mass of each metal and the percent composition of a known mass aluminum-zinc alloy by determining the moles of H2 gas formed. Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) 1 mole of H2(g) is produced for every 1 mole of Zn(s)…

    Acid And Base Reaction Lab

    INTRODUCTION The lab introduced the relationship between reactants and products, and sought to discover which ratio of an acid and base reaction produced the most amount of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) without leaving leftover reactants. 5 varying amounts of bases were added to a constant amount of acid (10 ml) to better understand which ratio was the most efficient. RESULTS Data collected from the lab suggests that the ratio of acid to base that produced the most carbon dioxide gas (CO2) was 1:0.5. This means that for every one mole of acid, 0.5 moles of base would be added.…

    Redox Reaction Between Copper And Photosynthesis Lab

    This is also an acid-base reaction since the base of CuO(s) is placed with an acid of H2SO4(aq), producing copper sulfate, a salt, and water. The acid and base properties were neutralized once combined and allowed for the development of a light blue solution. It is important to notice after this step of the cycle that large amounts of copper sulfate, the product, can have adverse environmental and ecological effects due to its toxicity. For the fifth and final step of the cycle, 0.3004 grams of zinc is used to react with copper sulfate, generating zinc sulfate and solid copper. The balanced equation includes CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s) -> Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq).…
