Iron Nails And Cuso4 Reaction Lab
The purpose of this lab was to find out the reaction of iron nails and CuSO4, copper sulfate solution. Before starting the experiment, there were two possible outcomes of the reactions. CuSO4 + Fe → FeSO4 + Cu or 3CuSo4 + 2Fe → Fe2(SO4)3 + 3Cu. The ion chart showed that iron can only make two charges, +2 and +3.
As the liquid evaporated, the weight changed because the liquid added to the nail’s weight. In a real world situation, scientists can use ratios to determine how much of a substance that needs to go into a medicine. Without accurate measurements, the medicine would be no longer useful to the consumer.
Design investigation: When we performed the experiment, there were factors that might have affected the experiment- the beaker
