This lab report will be detailing the steps taken and the results discovered when using spectrophotometry to determine the percentage of copper in a copper-clad penny and the thicknes of the copper layer on the copper-clad penny. After 1982‚ copper coating has been used in the creation of the penny because the cost of pure copper has increase to the point that the amount needed t omake a penny cost far more than the actual value of the penny. This lab allowed us to see just how much copper coating

Lab Report An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change so they can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. A Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Catalysts are substances or a substance that configures another substance

Kiley O’Toole Lab Report 3 Purpose The purpose of this lab was to uncover the number of layers of zinc atoms around a piece of galvanized iron. This was done by pouring the hydrochloric acid onto the galvanized iron‚ thus removing the zinc from the piece of metal. Laboratory Procedure 1. Measured and recorded the mass of a piece of galvanized iron using a centigram balance and a ruler 2. Measured and recorded the length and width of the galvanized iron using the ruler 3. Put the

November 28‚ 2014 ! ! Physical and Chemical Properties! Purpose/Hypothesis:! • The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the chemical and physical properties of pure chemical substances. A property of a substance is some distinguishing characteristic. Some of the most common physical properties are color‚ odor‚ hardness‚ density‚ melting point‚ boiling point‚ and solubility in various solvents. For all of these properties‚ no chemical change takes place. Chemical properties describe the tendencies

INTRODUCTION Thermodynamics is a branch of physical science in which deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy. The ability to predict if a chemical reaction will occur spontaneously or non-spontaneously is an important aspect of thermodynamics. Spontaneity is determined from free energy‚ or Gibbs free energy. The equation (1) gives the relationship of how entropy (∆S) and enthalpy (∆H) along with temperature affects the amount of free energy‚ and henceforth the spontaneity
