Copper and Zinc Composition Percentages in Pennies Introduction. The United States Mint sends copper and zinc to a fabricator‚ which creates coin-sized discs called planchets. The planchets undergo the coining press at the Mint where they are stamped as genuine United States legal tender coins. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the accuracy of the copper and zinc composition percentages in a random sampling of pennies. The penny was dissolved to make aqueous copper ions and four copper

Percentage of Copper in a Brass Alloy Assignment: G620 Sample Assignment C Date Set: Due Date: Assessment Objective(s): AO3 Vocational Brief: Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. This alloy has many uses ranging from coinage to non-ferrous fittings on ships. Many domestic taps use brass where contact with water occurs. You are provided with a sample of brass which is about 150 years old and you are asked to quantitatively analyse it‚ using colorimetry‚ to find the percentage of copper present

The Copper A. In the text “the Copper” Glenn Gavin tells about his experience and viewpoints 20 months after he joined the Metropolitan Police. In the text are different subjects discussed. Glenn Gavin talks about his upraise inside the family and at school‚ the role of rules‚ his choice of carrier‚ and attitude toward politics. When Gavin was a kid his parents gave him a “guiding kick up the backside every now and then” (p. 1 l. 2). For example when he “came in late” (p. 1 l.3) or if he “was

CHEM 301 LECTURE Unit 1 0 . COORDINATION CHEMISTRY Factors t hat affect solubility: Common ion: decrease in solubility Complex ion: increase in solubility How does complex ion formation increase solubility? Consider the complex ion formation between silver and ammonia: + Ag + 2NH3 A g(NH3 )2 + Kf = 1 .5 x 10 7 where Kf i s the formation constant (always >1 ‚ formation of the complex is highly favorable) Complex ion formation increases the solubility of sol ids in water

AP Chemistry Final Exam Review ESSAY. Write your answer in the space provided or on a separate sheet of paper. 1) Explain the difference between a qualitative and a quantitative measurement. Provide examples to illustrate this difference. Answer: A qualitative measurement is a measurement that gives descriptive‚ nonnumeric results; a quantitative measurement is a measurement that gives definite‚ usually numeric results. "The rock is heavy" would be a qualitative measurement. "The rock weighs 110

Research question/Aim Extract copper from copper oxide by reduction using butane gas Hypothesis The butane gas will reduce the copper oxide and leave behind pure copper. This will allow us to find the empirical formula of the copper oxide as well as the masses of oxygen and copper Variables Dependant variable The dependant variable will be the reduction of the copper oxide which will be calculated at different temperatures. Independent variable The independent variable here

1. Iron (IIII) and copper (II) sulfate solution Fill a small test tube halfway with copper (II) sulfate solution. Add a 2.0 gram iron rod to the solution and observe the reaction. 2 Fe + 3 CuSO4 = 3 Cu + Fe2(SO4)3 The new product is iron (III) sulfate‚ it contains the Fe 3+ ion which is brown. Lead (II) nitrate and potassium iodide solutions Pour about 2.0 mL of lead (II) nitrate into the test tube. Add 5 to 10 drops of potassium iodide solution to the test tube and record your observations
