claims made by the US government‚ regarding the spectrophotometric analysis of a copper penny hold true. Before 1982‚ the Lincoln cent contained 95% copper and 5% various mixtures of zinc and tin. As the cost of copper increased‚ the cost to produce the penny was more than the actual face value of the penny. This caused the US government to change the composition of the penny. The pennies we know today consist of a copper coating‚ which contains mostly zinc metal‚ and has a 2.5% mass. The contents

AP Chemistry 12/13/11 Round-Trip Copper Reactions Lab The purpose of this lab was to evaluate our skills of decanting a supernatant liquid without losing the solid and successful completion of a series of reactions. This was done through five chemical reactions involving copper. In this lab‚ elemental copper was put through five different chemical reactions in order to convert it into different compounds. By the end of the fifth reaction‚ the copper was back to its elemental state. In the

Unit 4 Assignment 1 Copper vs. Fiber Paper Copper wire is found in most household electric or electrical related devices. One advantage of copper wire is its conductivity. Copper wire is second only to silver wire in level of conductivity meaning it will accept a current more so than almost any other type of wire. Copper wire is also heat resistant and can handle high levels of charge without many issues with overloading the wire. Copper in itself is also resistant to corrosion. This helps

Installing 70/30 copper nickel (cuni) pipe sometimes can be a test of human patients‚ mechanical knowledge‚ and dexterity. It is‚ however‚ well worth the effort‚ because once you complete the job whether you’re a novice or connoisseur of the art you gain a sense of pride for a job well done. Additionally‚ you will have confidence in knowing that your pipe will stand the test of time and vigorous challenges they’re used for. The only problem that comes with working with 70/30 cuni pipe is‚ having

and Processing Raw data Table of raw data Qualitative observation: At the start of the experiment‚ the crystals were blue. During the heating‚ the crystals turned white which means that they lost their water molecules. The source of hydrated copper sulphate consists of both small grains and large grains of the salt. Therefore during the heating process‚ the smaller grains of the hydrated salt turned from blue to white in just 1 minute. In other words‚ there is an uneven heat distribution‚ which
