Redox reactions (Redox terminology‚ galvanic cells‚ standard electrode potentials‚ strength of oxidizing/reducing agents‚ corrosion and protection against it) Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons and reduction is defined as the gain of electrons. Oxidizing agents‚ such as oxygen are defined as substances which accept electrons; reducing agents are substances which donate electrons. Redox reactions are: a) The reactions of metals with non-metals 2Na+Cl2→2Na+Cl- b) The reactions

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

Determination of Fe by Redox Titration Matt Cuff Quant 320L October 21‚ 2011 Abstract In this experiment the percent of iron in an unknown sample will be determined by using a redox titration and then compared to a different method. A primary standard which in this case is ferrous ammonium sulfate will be used to standardize potassium dichromate. The standardized potassium dichromate will then be used to titrate the unknown iron sample using the indicator p-diphenylamine sulfonate.

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

Potassium Solution and Iodine: Immediate reaction between the two components. Mixture changed from clear to dark brown. Iodine smell noticed. Zinc and Water: No reaction observed. Zinc sinks to the bottom of test tube filled with water. Zinc and HCl: Interaction between Zinc and HCl caused the once clear HCl to become white in color. Visible bubble can

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

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

element through a number of chemical reactions including redox‚ metathesis‚ decomposition‚ and single replacement reactions‚ the cycle will be complete once solid copper is recovered. Attempting to create a diagram of the ecological cycle of copper must require knowledge about copper’s chemical cycle first‚ which may then allow for the development of possible solutions to copper pollution.

determine the density and composition of a penny it must be first weighed on a scale. Find the average mass of multiple pennies from the same year. After weighing it find the volume by placing the pennies into a 50 ml beaker with 15 ml of water. Note the change in volume to obtain the volume of the pennies‚ obtain the average volume‚ and then calculate the density by dividing the mass of the penny by the volume. 2.) To keep measurements accurate and precise test multiple pennies from the same year and

SELECTED REDOX REACTIONS RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Oxidation-Reduction reaction also known as redox reaction is a process in which there’s a net movement of electrons between reacting species. These types of reactions involve two separate elementary reactions: one that loses electrons and another that gains the electrons that was lost. Gaining of electrons is referred to as Reduction reaction (the species that undergoes reduction is called as oxidizing agent) while losing of electrons is called
