October 1‚ 2013 Chemical Reactions of Copper Objective The objective of this lab is to convert copper (Cu0) “in a series of reactions to various compound containing copper as the Cu2+ species” (CHM111 Laboratory Manual) in order to prove the Law of the Conservation of Mass. Introduction In this experiment‚ we took a look at how copper (Cu0) reacts with different substances to get an end result where it is transformed back to its original state. There were five different reactions that involved

moles of zinc. Procedure: 1. Put on safety equipment. 2. Label small glass vial so your group can identify it later. 3. Determine the mass of the clean dry vial and record your mass to 2 decimal places on your lab sheet. 4. Zero the balance. 5. Add 3-4 grams of zinc to the vial and determine the mass of the zinc. Record on your lab sheet. 6. Go to one of the burets set up around the classroom. 7. Look at the buret and record the volume on your lab sheet. 8. Add 10 to 15mL of

Silveira Date of Submission: September 25‚ 2013 Lab Section: CHE110L*Z Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to use two common laboratory methods to see how mixtures can be separated based on physical properties. Paper chromatography will be used to separate the dye colors from M&M candy to see which colors contain yellow #5. Gravimetric separation will be used to separate salt and sand from a mixture. Procedure The procedure for this lab can be found on pages 16 – 30 in “General Chemistry

study a set of metals and their reactions reactions using different metals in an ordered activity series‚ the goal is to find the relative reactivity of them.Discovering why metals react with certain cations and solutions is the main point of this lab. This has many real life applications. When creating buildings‚ or bridges it is important to understand and counter-act the rusting of iron. You can do that by using the activity series. For any industry using metals‚ this is important. Manufacturing

they need to be separated‚ isolated‚ and purified. However‚ there are endless numbers of possible mixtures‚ which make it impossible to have a pre-designed procedure for every mixture. So chemists often have to make their own procedures. The purpose of this experiment was to prepare the student to the real world by them designing their own procedure which will help them understand the techniques of separation and purification better. The goal was to extract two of the components of the mixture that consisted

EXPERIMENT 4B: THE MENDELEEV LAB OF 1869 Materials: 30 element cards‚ periodic table Aim: How can we identify elements based on their propeties? Background: Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited as being the first chemist to observe patterns emerge when the elements are arranged according to their properties. Mendeleev’s arrangement of the elements was unique because he left blank spaces for elements that he claimed were undiscovered as of 1869. Mendeleev was so confident
