Percent Copper in Brass Background The scientific concepts involved in this lab include Spectroscopy‚ Beer’s law‚ Calibration curve‚ concentration‚ and electronic transitions. The main objective of this experiment is to see how the percent composition of brass can be determined to verify the properties influenced by copper and zinc. Brass is a generic term for alloys of copper and zinc. The main technique used in this experiment is Spectroscopy. The three equations used in this lab are: Y = mx

Copper has been used in cookware because of its good thermal conductivity. In Eastern and Western cooking traditions‚ copper cookware sets were popular because they provided the best conductivity‚ and therefore the most even heating and cooking. Copper pots and pans were a staple of the colonial kitchen and have withstood the test of time to remain popular in the professional and home kitchen alike. Copper cookware sets will typically include a saut� pan‚ frying pan and a sauce pan. These are essential

Identification of a Copper Compound by Percent Mass Unknown Compound: #9 Abstract: The objective of this experiment was to identify the unknown pure copper salt compound of #9. To do this‚ the mass of copper in the unknown was calculated and then divided by the mass of the whole compound to get the percent copper. The molecular weight was also calculated by dividing mass of copper compound used by moles of compound in unknown sample. The percent copper averaged out to 31.6% while the molecular

In Reaction 1‚ the mass of the pre-cut copper wire was measured with watch glass on the analytical balance‚ the mass was recorded using as many significant figures as possible on Table 2. The copper wire was bended into a circle and laid flat on the bottom of the 250 mL beaker. Inside the fume hood‚ 4mL 16M of HNO3 was added into the 250mL beaker that contained the copper wire. The copper wire was completely dissolved by swirling the beaker. The observation was recorded in Table 3. For Reaction 2

Copper sulphate experiment Introduction There are a number of different methods of making salts‚ such as the reaction of a metal with an acid. Copper metal‚ however‚ does not react with sulphuric acid and so another method must be used. In this experiment a basic copper compound (copper(II) oxide) will be reacted with sulphuric acid giving copper(II) sulphate as one of the products. Method 1. Wear goggles and keep your face away from the beaker during the reaction 2. Place 20 cmm3 sulphuric

may affected the mass of the copper was recovered and also the percentage of yield. According to the law of conservation of matter‚ the mass of the copper will not change even though there are many chemical reactions happened which also mean that the mass of copper contained in solutions or precipitates remain the same as the copper in the beginning. And it is necessary to synthesize the various copper compounds in order to recover metal because the amount of copper might be left due to some errors

mass of copper wire was 1.250g but the recovered copper was only 0.120 subtracting the mass of the recovered copper with beaker from the tare beaker mass. So the percentage yield resulted only to 9.6% it is very little‚ and it may be due to many possible sources from doing the steps. Adding too much or too little of a compound to the copper solution‚or the loss of copper during transport or by being left on the stirring rod. Another situation which was a source of error is when the copper solution

Give a conclusion‚ which describes why the mass of copper carbonate may have changed during your experiment. When the copper carbonate is heated it decomposes forming copper oxide and carbon dioxide. The copper carbonate turns into a

Copper was the first metal that is used by humans as weapons and tools. It is shinny and has a reddish brown color. It’s application toward humans has really changed the way we live. Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity‚ which is often used as electrical wires or cables in generators‚ motors and electric products. In addition‚ it is also an outstanding conductor of heat‚ which is used in radiators and heating systems. Since it does not react with water and corrode easily‚ it is widely

The Ok Tedi Copper Mine Ethical Issue * Opening the mine without a waste storage. If they would have waited to open the mine for the waste storage to be completely finished they never would have started disposing trailing in the river. * Environmental damage along the Ok Tedi. The environment that is affected is the river‚ the fish‚ the forest area along the river‚ the gardens‚ and hunting resources. The damage is already done to the environment. How long will it take to get
