Determination of % Composition of Pennies Using Redox and Double Displacement (Precipitation) Reactions Introduction: Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL‚ then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield. Purpose: In this lab‚ we will determine the percent composition of a modern (post-1982) penny by using a strong acid to react and dissolve the zinc

Determining the composition of pennies with redox reactions Introduction: The understanding of oxidation and reduction must be clear to carry out this lab. With the understanding of these concepts we can calculate or hypothesize for the properties of each element or compound. Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL‚ then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield
