3rd‚ 2009 Lab Report #3: Copper Cycle Abstract: The purpose of the experiment is to cycle solid copper through a series of five reactions. At different stages of the cycle‚ copper was present in different forms. First reaction involves reaction between the copper and nitric acid‚ and copper changed from elemental state to an aqueous. The second reaction converted the aqueous Cu2+ into the solid copper (2) hydroxide. In the third reaction Cu(OH)2 decomposed into copper 2 oxide and water when heated
Premium Sulfuric acid Copper Nitric acid
Rocks containing copper compounds (such as copper carbonate) are called ‘copper ore’. Copper is extracted from copper ore by a series of chemical‚ physical‚ and electrochemical processes. Ores can be classed as ‘high grade’ or ‘low grade’ depending on the percentage of copper compounds (e.g. copper carbonate) they contain. After mining‚ the ore is crushed‚ roasted‚ smelted and then electrolysed to extract the copper. Suggested Equipment Boiling tube Samples of different carbonate ores‚ containing

Synthesis and Decomposition of Zinc Iodide Partners: Sonya Pasia and Kristen Kobayashi CH 085-01 20 September 2011 Zinc Iodide (ZnI2) was an interesting binary compound to experiment with. In this experiment‚ weakly acidified water (25mL distilled water with 18 drops 5M acetic acid solution) was used as an aid to bring molecules of the zinc and iodide atoms together‚ by dissolving iodine molecules‚ so that bonding would transpire to produce a reaction. Deprived of water‚ the Zn and I2

Report on Zinc deficiencies Zinc deficiency is the inadequate amount of zinc in the body to meet its demands. Zinc is vital to the body functions such as‚ a healthy immune system and wrongdiagnosis.com states is best known for minimizing the effects of the common cold or upper respiratory infections. It can enhance the functions of the liver‚ muscles and bones. Other functions of zinc in the body are to wound heals; aid enzyme activity; DNA production and cell division.

Experiment 9 Empirical Formula of Zinc Iodide Objectives Upon completion of this experiment‚ students should have learned: 1. The law of conservation of mass. 2. How to calculate an empirical formula. 3. The concept of limiting reagents. Introduction Synthesis and the determination of empirical formulas are two extremely important parts of chemistry. In this experiment‚ you will synthesize zinc iodide and determine its empirical formula. The molecular formula gives the actual

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

The Effect of pH Level of a Liquid on the Rate of Corrosion of Copper wire In this experiment‚ I will be testing the corrosion rate of copper wire after leaving them in different liquids with different pH levels. By doing so I will be able to determine which pH level corrodes copper the fastest. I will conduct this experiment by pouring 250mL of different liquids with different pH levels in cups‚ followed by an iron strip placed into the cup. A stopwatch will be timing how long it takes the iron

To determine the percent of copper and the formula weight of a copper compound. 2. Introduction a. Magnesium is a very active metal which can reduce copper (II) ions in a weight sample of a compound to metallic copper. The reduction of copper ions in a compound to a copper metal

sulphides in contact with air and water produces sulphuric acid which reduces the pH of water. The result of these reactions is increase in the solubility of heavy metals and consequently pollution of water resources. The Sarcheshmeh copper mine is one of the largest porphyry copper mines in the world which is located in south-eastern Iran. Chemical analysis of over than 600 water samples taken from streams and springs in the mining region and surrounding area of pit showed extensive changes in water quality
