    Percent Composition of a Penny Background Information: Post-1983 pennies have a copper jacket and a zinc core. We hope to determine the percent composition of these two metals. This will be done by reacting the zinc with hydrochloric acid to form zinc ions in a single replacement reaction. The acid reacts with the zinc but not copper. The reaction of zinc metal with the hydrochloric acid (HCl) produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Safety: Wear your safety goggles and apron If you spill Hydrochloric

    Copper in a Penny Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the percent mass of Cu in a penny and see if the fabricator that makes the planchets for the government is using the correct amounts of Cu in the pennies. The composition of a standard penny is 97.5% Zn and 2.5% Cu. In the lab we will be using Beer’s Law (A=elc+b where A is solution absorbance‚ e is a constant called molar absorbency‚ l is the length in cm‚ and c is the concentration). Using Beer’s Law in this lab a colorimeter

    Dylan McFarland 9/15/14 Honors Chemistry Richardson Lab: Measuring the Density of Pennies Pre-Lab Questions: 1. The equation that relates density‚ mass‚ and volume is: density = mass / volume. 2. All substances have unique densities‚ so if you are able to find the density of a substance‚ you can properly identify it. 3. We measure irregular-shaped objects with the use of water displacement because it would be nearly impossible to get the exact measurements

    In the Penny Cleaning Lab‚ my hypothesis‚ which stated that the lemon juice would be the best at cleaning the penny since it is an acid and acids are particularly good at cleaning metallic substances‚ was indeed valid. First‚ we started out with 1mL solutions of all the substances in the test tray. We dipped the pH paper in each solution for about a second and recorded the pH level for each substance. Before starting‚ we noticed that all the pennies were in some shade of brown‚ which I predicted

    IB Chemistry Experiment 4 Composition of a Post-1983 Penny Lab Report Background: Through the use of percent composition one can easily find out how much of a certain element is in a compound or an item such as a post-1983 penny. The experiment will be using HCl a strong acid to dissolve all the zinc inside the outer copper shell. The reaction follows as such; Zn+2HCLZnCl2+H2‚ but there will be no reaction with copper. The portion that will be measured is the mass of copper left after all of

    Purpose The goal of this lab is to find out which metals were used in the minting of pennies before and after 1982 by calculating their densities. Hypothesis If the penny was made after 1982 then its density will be higher than those made before 1982. Materials • 1 Graduated cylinder • 30 mL of water • 10 pennies minted before 1982 • 10 pennies minted after 1982 • 1 electric scale Procedure The mass of ten pennies minted before 1982 was calculated five times using the scale and then

    Purpose: Can the penny hold more drops of water or more drops of the MYSTERY liquid? Research: Cohesion- The state of sticking together. Pennies can hold more water because soap reduces the cohesion of water and the water molecules break apart and can’t stay on the penny. Hypothesis: The penny will hold more a larger number of drops of water because water is more cohesive than the “mystery” liquids Variables: Independent variable: Penny Dependent variable: Number of Drops of Water Control

    Penny-Ante Equilibrium Introduction What is equilibrium? What happens to the amount of reactants and products when equilibri­um is reached? What if more reactants or products are added to a system already at equilibri­um? In this activity‚ pennies will be used as reactants and products in a reversible reaction to answer these questions and learn more about the fundamental nature of equilibrium. Concepts • Reversible reactions • Equilibrium • Equilibrium constant • LeChatelier’s principle Materials
